- Given the COVID-19 pandemic’s disproportionate effects on people of color and increased attention to racial justice in the US, initiatives to increase health equity are sprouting up across the country (Ndugga, Artiga, and Pham 2021). These efforts range from addressing immediate health and social needs among communities most affected by the pandemic’s impacts to broader and longer-range policy…July 2021Community-rooted/Participatory Research
- The link between education and health: Studies have shown direct links between education and factors such as health and life expectancy rates, with academic achievement playing a potentially significant role in reducing health inequalities by shaping life opportunities. For example, research has found that adults with significantly lower educational attainment are more likely to suffer from poor…July 2021Education
- Shock events uncover deficits in social cohesion and exacerbate existing social inequalities at the household, community, local, regional, and national levels. National and regional government recovery planning requires careful stakeholder engagement that centers on marginalized people, particularly women and marginalized community leaders. The aim of this rapid scoping review was to inform the…July 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus
- This retrospective, secondary qualitative analysis investigates whether health system factors influence social support among Black and White breast and lung cancer survivors and racial differences in support. These data come from race- and cancer-stratified focus groups (n=6) and interviews (n=2) to inform a randomized controlled trial utilizing anti-racism and community-based participatory…July 2021Cancer
- In this report, The Rockefeller Foundation presents the true cost of food in the U.S., which measures the costs of our food system today to our health, environment, and society. After publishing our July 2020 “Reset the Table” report, we spent the past several months working with experts and advocates across the field to model the impact of the U.S. food system. The result is a national analysis—…July 2021Health Reform
- Albert Einstein once famously said if he were given an hour to solve a problem, he’d spend 55 minutes understanding it, and then take just five minutes developing solutions.That formula makes total sense, and perhaps especially when considering a complex and tangled problem like inequity and healthcare. Translated narrowly for the U.S. vaccination effort, it means that it is crucial that we…June 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Vaccines
- The strong relationship between housing and health has been well-established, a reality that can be critically important for those who are pregnant. Affordable, quality housing—and where it is located—directly affect families’ physical and emotional well-being. Since October 2019, cross-sector “core teams” in nine states and Washington, D.C., have been working to address drivers of maternal and…June 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Maternal/Child Health, Social/Structural Determinants
- Maternal health outcomes in the United States have reached crisis levels compared with the rest of the world, and they’re getting worse. Preterm birth rates have increased in the U.S. for the past 5 years, and the number of birthing people who experience Severe Maternal Morbidity (SMM) has also continued to grow. These poor outcomes, however, impact some more than others. Black birthing people…June 2021Maternal/Child Health, Medicaid
- “This study highlights the extent to which health care inequities are intertwined with other social inequities, such as employment and education,” says Vanessa Volpe, corresponding author of the study and an assistant professor of psychology at North Carolina State University. “This helps explain why health inequities are so intractable. Tackling health care inequities will require us to address…June 2021Health Reform, Racism
- The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated racial, ethnic, and gender disparities that have existed since long before the current public health crisis. With declining infection rates and increasing vaccination rates, the United States seems to be on a path to recovery. But a full recovery from the health and economic fallout of the pandemic will require adequately supporting our most vulnerable…June 2021Services & Programs, Racism
