- The accessibility of pharmacies may be an overlooked contributor to persistent racial and ethnic disparities in the use of prescription medications and essential health care services within urban areas in the US. We examined the availability and geographic accessibility of pharmacies across neighborhoods based on their racial/ethnic composition in the thirty most populous US cities. In all cities…May 2021Physical Environment
- Historical and contemporary trauma among Native Americans is linked to disparate health outcomes across the lifespan including the very recent coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Early and prolonged exposure to positive family-child engagement activities and the natural environment (greenspace) act as protective factors against a range of maladaptive development across the lifespan. Yet, little…May 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Substance Use and Misuse
- The reproductive justice framework holds much promise for guiding research that can contribute to social change. Its limited integration and use in social psychology therefore represents a missed opportunity for justice-oriented social researchers. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the reproductive justice framework and demonstrate its value for social psychologists…May 2021Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Abortion Access
- Internalized racism, or the acceptance of negative stereotypes about one’s own racial group, is associated with psychological distress; yet, few studies have explored the longitudinal impact of internalized racism on the psychological well-being of African American emerging adults. Furthermore, racial identity’s role as a protective factor in the context of internalized racism remains unclear.…April 2021Mental/Behavioral Health, Racism
- The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected specific demographics, with Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities being among the hardest hit. As vaccinations ramp up across the country, data has shown that — despite some efforts to provide vaccines to typically underserved populations — people of color are at higher risk yet are still less likely to be vaccinated. In this article,…April 2021Vaccine Access and Uptake, Racism
- American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations have proven particularly susceptible to the opioid crisis in the USA, but the White House’s 2019 national opioid policy roadmap is not structured to address AI/AN vulnerabilities. The concept of resilience, usually considered a positive system attribute, can be applied to complex systems to understand the larger compensatory interactions that…April 2021Substance Use and Misuse, Social/Structural Determinants
- One in seven people living in the US are immigrants, and this number has tripled since 1970. In this narrative review we focus on immigrants to the US, a particularly vulnerable population in which many adverse social determinants of health (SDOH) often cluster. Following The Lancet Commission on Migration and Health, we define immigrants as any person who has moved away from his/her habitual…March 2021Heart disease, Social/Structural Determinants
- The majority of hospitals and health systems are collecting race, ethnicity, language and other data on demographic and socio-economic factors about their patients. But how can health care organizations use that data to tell a story that guides the delivery of quality care and improves outcomes for all patients? A new Market Insights report from the AHA Center for Health Innovation describes how…March 2021Systemic Determinants, Racism
- African Americans are disproportionately affected by COVID-19-related disease and mortality due to long-standing social, political, economic, and environmental injustice; and COVID-19 inequities are exacerbated by institutional distrust. In the absence of trust, public health authorities have not adequately fulfilled their professional and ethical obligations to protect African American…March 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus
- Over the last year, COVID-19 has emerged as a highly transmissible and lethal infection. As we address this global pandemic, its disproportionate impact on Black, Indigenous, and Latinx communities has served to further magnify the health inequities in access and treatment that persist in our communities. These sobering realities should serve as the impetus for reexamination of the root causes of…March 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus
