The 2025 Intersectional Trauma Pandemic is a term that I have used to describe the current era. This trauma pandemic is the convergence of compounded systemic inequities and crises. This includes increasing political polarization and widening health inequities that disproportionately impact structurally marginalized communities and impair health and workforce equity worldwide. My research advances trauma-informed, community-engaged research using the Health Equity Research Production Model with initiatives like Project TUJUANE in Nairobi, Kenya, and the nationwide Black Professors Study (BPS) in the United States. Meaningful multilevel trauma research and justice-oriented policy approaches are compulsory for systemic transformation in health and workforce systems.
