- Maternal morbidity and mortality (MMM) is a significant problem in the USA, with about 700 maternal deaths every year and an estimated 50,000 "near misses." Disparities in MMM by race are marked; black women are disproportionately affected. We use Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory to examine the root causes of racial disparities in MMM at the individual (microsystem), interpersonal…July 2020Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Medicaid, Racism
- The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and related policies have led to an unequal distribution of morbidity and mortality in the U.S. For Black women and birthing people, endemic vulnerabilities and disparities may exacerbate deleterious COVID-19 impacts. Historical and ongoing macro-level policies and forces over time have induced disproportionately higher rates of maternal morbidity and…July 2020COVID-19/Coronavirus, Maternal/Child Health, Social/Structural Determinants, Isms and Phobias
- Objectives: Despite improvements in infant mortality rates (IMR) in the United States, racial gaps in IMR remain and may be driven by both structural racism and place. This study assesses the relationship between structural racism and race-specific IMR and the role of urban-rural classification on race-specific IMR and Black/White racial gaps in IMR. Methods: We conducted an analysis of variance…July 2020Infant Mortality
- A behavioral health crisis has been building in the US workforce for years. In any given year, one in five adults will experience a diagnosable mental health condition, and more than half will go untreated.1 While those statistics present a sizeable enough issue, comorbidity and siloed care make the challenge that much greater. The reality is those diagnosed with a chronic condition are twice as…July 2020Mental/Behavioral Health
- In the face of the global epidemic of diet related chronic disease, there is increased experimentation with the use of “food is medicine” interventions to prevent, manage, and treat illness. Interventions used with increasing frequency in the US and piloted to some extent in other countries include medically tailored meals, medically tailored groceries, and produce prescription programmes. Scaled…June 2020Health Reform
- Careful risk adjustment is at the core of any equitable payment model for the care of populations. There is widespread agreement that U.S. health care providers and payers who are responsible for the care of sicker patients (and its cost) should be compensated more generously than those who are responsible for the care of healthier patients, to limit perverse incentives that would encourage…May 2020Health Reform
- As society we put a lot of prisons in rural communities to create jobs. the prison is largely staffed by people who live in these rural communities. As people travel from their homes to work, to stores and to church, it's likely that SARS-CoV-2 will travel along with them. Rural communities don't have the medical services to deal with what is coming. (author introduction)May 2020COVID-19/Coronavirus
- The Coronavirus pandemic has been wrecking African American communities. COVID-19 is disproportionately affecting African Americans nationwide. Dying at higher rates, it is becoming clear that the consequences of this virus will continue long after this pandemic has ended. This campaign, The Skin You’re In: Coronavirus & Black America, is intended to provide accurate and relevant information…May 2020COVID-19/Coronavirus
- The National Quality Forum and several collaborators launched the National Quality Task Force in late 2018 to analyze the progress of the modern quality movement today and recommend a path forward. Despite impressive gains, notable shortcomings persist in normalizing consistent, high-value, person-centered care. What is primarily missing is not progress in measurement, but progress in results.…May 2020Health Reform
- The relationship between housing and health is more than just the four walls that shelter an individual or family each night. More broadly, the link between health and housing is a result of influences from both the individual home unit and a variety of structural and societal factors within a neighborhood. These elements have the potential to provide safety, recreation, access to transportation…May 2020Housing Discrimination, Social/Structural Determinants, Environment/Context, Systemic Determinants, Healthy Housing, Racism
