%X Race is a social construct that deserves more attention in epilepsy inequity research. This article provides an overview of contemporary framing of race and health, highlights select literature on racialized inequities in epilepsy, and assesses progress on these issues and remaining gaps. Evidence about racialized inequities in epilepsy is mounting. Particular areas of concern are the greater burden of epilepsy and lower use of specialty care and standard and advanced therapies among some racialized groups compared with whites. Remaining gaps and future directions are discussed.
