Black Americans watch more TV and consume more media than the rest of the population. Yet, they remain one of the most underrepresented groups on TV—from the lack of doctors on the big screen to the lack of representation in advertising—and this is affecting the community in more ways than you may think, including its overall health. This panel will discuss the role entertainment plays and the impact it has on shaping healthcare perceptions and health disparities, particularly in the Black community.
