- For decades, these dysfunctional data-gathering practices have neglected the deep-seated health disparities and racial injustices driving disproportionate chronic illness and disease among marginalized communities. And when the pandemic struck, inconsistent and flawed nationwide data undercut efforts to collect timely, actionable information to improve access to vaccines, testing, and life-saving…April 2022Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Environment/Context

- This major new report from the UCL Institute of Health Equity, produced in partnership with Legal & General, examines the evidence of how businesses affect our health, and what they can do to improve health equity. In the past, businesses have often been absent from the conversation, despite the many, profound ways in which their actions influence the social determinants of health. This…April 2022Services & Programs, Social Environment
- Socio-economic inequalities in a wide range of health outcomes are pervasive and enduring. Most often, the association between socio-economic indicators and health is inversely graded (commonly known as social gradients in health) so that the higher the socio-economic position (SEP), the lower is the rate of morbidity and mortality. SEP is a broad concept capturing resource- and prestige-based…April 2022Early Childhood Education, Social Environment

- Rural communities throughout the United States lack access to health care. While only 14 percent of Americans—almost 46 million people—live in rural areas, rural communities represent nearly two-thirds of primary care health professional shortage areas (HPSAs) in the country.

A 2018 report by Pew Research Center found that the…February 2022Interventions, Services & Programs, Social/Structural Determinants, Access
- 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.

- Systemic and structural racism: Definitions, examples, health damages, and approaches to dismantlingRacism is not always conscious, explicit, or readily visible—often it is systemic and structural. Systemic and structural racism are forms of racism that are pervasively and deeply embedded in systems, laws, written or unwritten policies, and entrenched practices and beliefs that produce, condone, and perpetuate widespread unfair treatment and oppression of people of color, with adverse health…February 2022Policy and Practice, Systemic Determinants, Racism
- The $4 trillion municipal bond market is one of the largest pools of private investment capital flowing into America's states and localities, shaping the built environment in communities across the country and directly impacting health and equity.

- The story of our nation is one of justice and freedom, but the unspoken truth is too many people are shut out of equal opportunities because of the color of their skin. Civil Rights laws and advocacy movements have brought racial inequities to light, but have not solved urgent problems caused by structural racism. This inequity has led to wide-scale poorer health outcomes and shorter life spans.…January 2022Racism
