About
Hope Landrine is a pioneering health psychologist whose research has fundamentally reshaped our understanding of health disparities, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities. Her key contributions lie in the areas of discrimination and health, where she developed the widely used "Everyday Discrimination Scale," a tool that has become a gold standard for measuring perceived discrimination in public health research. Landrine’s work has demonstrated that chronic, subtle experiences of racism are potent stressors that directly contribute to hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and poor mental health outcomes. She has also advanced the field of tobacco control, investigating how targeted marketing and social stressors drive smoking disparities in minority communities. With her research amassing tens of thousands of citations, Landrine’s influence extends across psychology, epidemiology, and public health. Her seminal book, "The Health Psychology of African Americans," remains a foundational text, and she has received numerous awards for her contributions to reducing health inequities. Landrine’s legacy is a powerful call to integrate social justice into health science.
