Abstract

The perception of racism and its repercussions on individuals' health remains a topic of public and scientific interest. Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the effect of racial microaggressions and their effects on individuals' self-medication through a literature review of 18 articles identified in scientific databases. The research is relevant given the unsatisfactory health indicators, the need to consolidate the principles of public-private health and the obligation supported by legal instruments for racial equality. Results indicate that the perception of racism increases the prevalence of self-medication and drug abuse, mediated by processes of silencing and marginalization. Nevertheless, limitations and future studies are presented to contribute to the explanation of the relationship between racism and self-medication.
