Students of color who attend schools with a culture that emphasizes the value of diversity—specifically schools whose mission statements mention goals such as serving a diverse student body and appreciating diversity and cultural differences—show better cardiovascular health than peers whose schools do not express such values, according to a new collaborative study done by researchers at Northwestern and Stanford universities. This same pattern did not emerge among white students.
