- As health care institutions push to address health equity, the underlying assumption is that all that is needed is more internal work; that institutions can simply hold themselves accountable. While this is a necessary component, it is insufficient. As evidenced by the persistence of health inequities, there also needs to be strong mechanisms by which others–including employees, patients,…September 2022Policy and Practice
- The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated longstanding racial disparities in health in the United States and highlighted the need to address inequities across a range of health system functions. All countries face their own unique inequities in health status or in the distribution of health care resources among different population groups. We looked at how eight high-income countries (Australia,…September 2022Health Reform
- The growing centering of equity in health has elevated a conversation about how those interests should translate within the systems and sectors that influence health. In particular, the public health data system has been relatively limited in capturing the drivers and consequences of health inequity as well as the varying dimensions of equity. This article examines what it means to use equity as…September 2022Health Reform, Environment/Context
- There is a large literature on work-related characteristics and hypertension, but studies on self-employment, longer working hours, and hypertension are mixed. Assessments of self-employment should be extended to account for people with part-time self-employment (i.e., employees also earning income from self-employment). The aim of this study was to determine the association of different types of…September 2022Hypertension

The consequences of food insecurity and diet-related diseases are significant, far reaching, and…September 2022Services & Programs
- Introduction: States' approaches to addressing prenatal substance use are widely heterogeneous, ranging from supportive policies that enhance access to substance use disorder (SUD) treatment to punitive policies that criminalize prenatal substance use. We studied the effect of these prenatal substance use policies (PSUPs) on medications for opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment, including…September 2022Maternal/Child Health, Substance Use and Misuse
- Practitioners describe how collaboration among state agencies and local organizations help address longstanding inequities. State agency staff members and leaders of nonprofit social service organizations report multiple advantages to using a cross-sector approach to address health inequities—preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities to achieve optimal…August 2022Community-rooted/Participatory Research
- Structural racism causes stark health inequities and operates at every level of society, including the academic and governmental entities that support health research and practice. We argue that health research institutions must invest in research that actively disrupts racial hierarchies, with leadership from racially marginalized communities and scholars.We highlight synergies between…August 2022Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Racism
- Introduction: The goal of this study was to estimate how state preemption laws that prohibit local authority to raise the minimum wage or mandate paid sick leave have contributed to working-age mortality from suicide, homicide, drug overdose, alcohol poisoning, and transport accidents.Methods: County-by-quarter death counts by cause and sex for 1999–2019 were regressed on minimum wage levels and…August 2022Services & Programs
