- Implementation science (IS) could accelerate progress toward achieving health equity goals. However, the lack of attention to the outer setting where interventions are implemented limits applicability and generalizability of findings to different populations, settings, and time periods. We developed a data resource to assess outer setting across seven centers funded by the National Cancer…July 2023Systemic Determinants
- Language is a social determinant and driver of health. Joo and colleagues2 performed a systematic review of perioperative and surgical care that adds to a growing body of literature describing language-related health care disparities. The 29 studies that met their inclusion criteria had mixed results. Most found that patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) experienced reduced access to…July 2023Communication, Social Environment
- Public health emergencies impact the well-being of people and communities. Long-term emotional distress is a pervasive and serious consequence of high levels of crisis exposure and low levels of access to mental health care. At highest risk for mental health trauma are historically medically underserved and socially marginalized populations and frontline health care workers (HCWs). Current public…May 2023COVID-19/Coronavirus, Mental/Behavioral Health, Social/Structural Determinants
- Transgender, gender nonbinary, and genderqueer (henceforth, transgender) people are more likely to report adverse health outcomes than cisgender people. For example, an estimated 22% of transgender people estimate their health as fair or poor compared with 18% of the overall US population, and 39% of transgender people currently meet the criteria for severe psychological distress (SPD) compared…May 2023Transphobia
- Importance: Health inequities exist for racial and ethnic minorities and persons with lower educational attainment due to differential exposure to economic, social, structural, and environmental health risks and limited access to health care. Objective: To estimate the economic burden of health inequities for racial and ethnic minority populations (American Indian and Alaska Native, Asian, Black…May 2023Social/Structural Determinants
- Profound racial inequities were entrenched in crucial domains of American life long before COVID‐19. In the wake of the pandemic, these preexisting disparities deepened. Housing offers an arresting example. In 2019, just before the onset of the pandemic, 46% of renter households were paying more than 30% of their income toward rent, and nearly a quarter were spending more than half their income…April 2023Racism
- Racial residential segregation is considered a fundamental cause of racial health disparities, with housing discrimination as a critical driver of residential segregation. Despite this link, racial discrimination in housing is far less studied than segregation in the population health literature. As a result, we know little about how discrimination in housing is linked to health beyond its…April 2023Healthy Housing, Racism
- Social connectedness is essential for health and longevity, while isolation exacts a heavy toll on individuals and society. We present U.S. social connectedness magnitudes and trends as target phenomena to inform calls for policy-based approaches to promote social health. Using the 2003–2020 American Time Use Survey, this study finds that, nationally, social isolation increased, social engagement…March 2023Social Environment
- The emergence and increasing use of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) in healthcare practice and delivery is being greeted with both optimism and caution. We focus on the nexus of AI/ML and racial disparities in healthcare: an issue that must be addressed if the promise of AI to improve patient care and health outcomes is to be realized in an equitable manner for all…March 2023Health Reform, Isms and Phobias
- Interventions to address social drivers of health (SDH), such as food insecurity, transportation, and housing, can reduce future health care costs but require up-front investment. Although Medicaid managed care organizations have incentives to reduce costs, volatile enrollment patterns and coverage changes may prevent them from realizing the full benefits of their SDH investments. This phenomenon…March 2023Medicaid, Social Environment
