- We are in a historic moment as North Carolina becomes the 40th state to implement Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. It’s been a long road to Medicaid expansion, but with the passing of the budget and today’s announcement of a Dec. 1 launch date, we are now closer to removing barriers and extending health coverage to an estimated 600,000 North Carolinians. Thanks to the bipartisan…September 2023Medicaid
- Background: With their close connection to community and increasing preventive health remit, local governments are well positioned to implement policies and programs to address health inequities. Nevertheless, there is a lack of evidence of equity-focused policy action in this sector. We aimed to understand how local government representatives approach equity in the development and implementation…June 2023Advocacy, Policy & Law
- Paid sick leave provides workers with paid time off to receive COVID-19 vaccines and to recover from potential vaccine adverse effects. We hypothesized that US cities with paid sick leave would have higher COVID-19 vaccination coverage and narrower coverage disparities than those without such policies. Using county-level vaccination data and paid sick leave data from thirty-seven large US cities…November 2022Vaccine Access and Uptake, Paid Family Leave

- The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated and amplified the harsh reality of health inequities experienced by racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States. Members of these groups have disproportionately been infected and died from COVID-19, yet they still lack equitable access to treatment and vaccines.

- The private practice of psychiatry is in slow decline, and collaborative care will be its replacement. This is an inevitable result of the reality that there are too few psychiatrists being trained to cover the psychiatric needs of a growing population; increased rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders across the population; and reduced stigma, which previously served as a…December 2021Mental/Behavioral Health, Health Reform
- Artificial intelligence (AI) holds great promise for improving health care and public health. By leveraging and processing large amounts of data at far greater speeds than humans, AI can generate predictions that can inform policy or treatment decisions. But as predictive algorithms in medicine and public health increase and the fields rely on them more, policymakers, data scientists, ethicists,…November 2021Health Reform
