- To use evidence on addressing racism in social care intervention research to create a framework for advancing health equity for all populations with marginalized social identities (e.g., race, gender, and sexual orientation). Such groups have disproportionate social needs (e.g., food insecurity) and negative social determinants of health (SDOH; e.g., poverty). We recommend how the Agency for…November 2023Social Environment, Racism
- Strategies such as diversifying the public health workforce; building capacity related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging; and conducting research on oppression are necessary but insufficient to improving health in communities that have been marginalized by systems of oppression. Working toward health and racial equity requires changing the structural drivers of health. Public health…October 2023Systemic Determinants

In England, public health sits within Local Authorities (LAs) and responsibility for ensuring health is considered across directorates increasingly falls to public health practitioners.

- Civic engagement is positively associated with important health and developmental benefits for participating adolescents and young adults. As illustrated by youth political participation, social activism, and rallies for racial justice during the COVID-19 pandemic, youth civic engagement is often inspired by and responsive to problems that are salient to a young person’s lived experiences.…April 2023Maternal/Child Health, Community-rooted/Participatory Research
- Advancing diagnostic equity through clinician engagement, community partnerships, and connected careWhile the COVID 19 pandemic exposed longstanding race- and ethnicity-related healthcare inequity in the USA, equity issues specifically related to the diagnostic process warrant additional exploration. For example, Black, Hispanic, and Asian patients experience significantly higher rates of infection, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19, yet are less likely to be tested for coronavirus.…April 2023Policy and Practice
- In response to calls to achieve racial equity, racism has been declared as a public health crisis. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is an approach public health organizations are pursuing to address racial inequities in health. However, public health workforce perceptions about organizational commitment to DEI have not yet been assessed. Using a nationally representative survey of public…January 2023Education

Despite public health frameworks lifting up the need to tackle power imbalances to advance equity, there is little guidance on how to accomplish this as an integral part of health promotion.Objective: This article…January 2023Policy and Practice, Social/Structural Determinants, Systemic Determinants
