This monograph examines the current evidence surrounding tobacco-related health disparities (TRHD) across the tobacco use continuum—initiation, secondhand smoke…October 2022Environment/Context
- Over the past 50 years, 16 states, the District of Columbia, and 106 local governments have passed laws that prohibit landlords from discriminating against tenants who receive housing choice vouchers. These laws generally outlaw discrimination based on the tenant’s “source of income,” whether that source is a job, a pension, alimony, or government assistance. Using a new Urban Institute dataset…October 2022Housing Discrimination, Racism
- While the COVID pandemic and most recent racial reckoning galvanized the traditional health philanthropy community, many corporate funders made their first foray into supporting racial and social justice efforts as well as health equity.

However, significant limitations in theory, research, and policy introduce questions about the effectiveness of such interventions, particularly for racial-ethnic minoritized youth and their families, who already contend with inequities in mental health treatment access and…October 2022Mental/Behavioral Health
- Health in the United States is not equally distributed; there is a 15-year gap in life expectancy between the richest and poorest 1 percent of Americans. There is clear evidence that health and health inequities are largely determined by the conditions in which we are born, grow, live, work, and age—the social determinants of health (SDOH). These include education, employment, income, and housing…October 2022Environmental/Community Health

The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted people with disabilities and widened already-existing health disparities and inequities. For many people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), these disparities are compounded by literacy limitations that make it challenging to access, understand…October 2022Policy and Practice
