Los efectos del racismo sist\u00e9mico en la salud mental de personas afrodescendientes y negras han sido ampliamente estudiados en los Estados Unidos de Am\u00e9rica y en otros pa\u00edses. Sin embargo, Puerto Rico no cuenta con datos confiables que permitan conocer la extensi\u00f3n de las consecuencias negativas del racismo y la discriminaci\u00f3n por color de piel. Adem\u00e1s, las categor\u00edas raciales del censo no son adecuadas para Puerto Rico. Para eliminar desigualdades \u00e9tnico-raciales en la salud mental, es indispensable contar con informaci\u00f3n estad\u00edstica confiable que demuestre los patrones de exclusi\u00f3n racial y colorismo en temas como: pobreza, ingresos, g\u00e9nero, salud, acceso a oportunidades de empleo, educaci\u00f3n, vivienda, mortalidad, encarcelamiento, migraci\u00f3n, violencia y brutalidad policiaca, entre otros. En este art\u00edculo, discutimos la importancia de incluir preguntas que abordan diferentes dimensiones \u00e9tnico-raciales en formularios de agencias gubernamentales y organizaciones sin fines de lucro en Puerto Rico. Adem\u00e1s, planteamos recomendaciones para promover la visibilidad de personas negras en el \u00e1rea de salud mental y en otros contextos de inequidad social en Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenging invisibility: inclusion of racial-ethnic variables in data collection to address anti-black racism in mental health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The effects of systemic racism on the mental health of Black people have been widely studied in the United States of America and other countries. However, in Puerto Rico there is no reliable data that allows us to know the extent of the negative consequences of racism and discrimination based on skin color in our society. Furthermore, the racial categories of the census are not appropriate for Puerto Rico. To eliminate ethnic-racial inequalities in mental health, it is essential to have reliable statistical information that demonstrates patterns of racial exclusion and colorism in issues such as: poverty, income, gender, health, access to employment opportunities, education, housing, mortality, incarceration, migration, violence, and police brutality, among others. In this article, we discuss the importance of including questions that address different ethnic-racial dimensions in Puerto Rico\u2019s government agencies and nonprofit organizations forms and applications. Final recommendations are presented to promote the visibility of Black people in the context of Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
