- This article describes sexual and reproductive health equity (SRHE) and how nurse practitioners can apply this framework to improve research, policy, and clinical practice. It means that systems ensure that all individuals, across the range of age, gender, race, and other intersectional identities, have what they need to attain their highest level of sexual and reproductive health. This includes…November 2021Reproductive/Sexual Health, Genderism
- This article analyses the impact of comprehensive education on health inequalities. Given that education is an important social determinant of health, it is hypothesised that a more equitable comprehensive system could reduce health inequalities in adulthood. To test this hypothesis, we exploited the change from a largely selective to a largely comprehensive system that occurred in the UK from…September 2021Early Childhood Education, Postsecondary Education, Social Environment
- Housing First has been thoroughly studied as an effective approach to ending people’s homelessness. System leaders, advocates, policymakers, and others are encouraged to review the following visualization, which demonstrates the overwhelming volume of research and data supporting Housing First. It includes the most significant domestic studies, international studies, and literature reviews on the…May 2021Housing Discrimination, Healthy Housing
- Local health departments (LHDs) around the country are making tremendous progress in explicitly committing to end structural racism as a strategy to achieve health equity. Many local and state governments are passing resolutions and training staff on equity, creating and implementing work plans, and shifting organizational policies, practices, and culture to advance equity. This suggests palpable…May 2021Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Social/Structural Determinants
- Despite a number of important global public health successes, for many health behaviours there is a continued lack of interventions that have been sufficiently scaled up to achieve system-wide integration. This has limited sustainable and equitable population health improvement. Systems change plays a major role in the relation between implementation processes and at-scale institutionalisation of…March 2021Social/Structural Determinants, Systemic Determinants
- Among the many lessons to come out of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, perhaps the most enduring will be how interconnected it showed the world to be. No one has been left unaffected; all of us know someone who has had the virus or have seen firsthand the tragic toll it can take. COVID-19 has reminded us that no one can live in a bubble—that what happens anywhere affects all of…March 2021Social/Structural Determinants
- Background: The global policy discourse on sustainability and health has called for dietary transformations that require diverse, concerted actions from governments and institutions. In this article, we highlight the need to examine sociocultural influences on food practices as precursors to food policy decisions. Discussion: Sociocultural food practices relate to ideas and materials that give…December 2020Chronic Disease, Social Environment
- Climate change has altered global to local weather patterns and increased sea levels, and it will continue to do so. Average temperatures, precipitation amounts, and other variables such as humidity levels are all rising. In addition, weather variability is increasing, causing, for example, a greater number of heat waves, many of which are more intense and last longer, and more floods and…December 2020Climate Change
- Maternal morbidity and mortality (MMM) is a significant problem in the USA, with about 700 maternal deaths every year and an estimated 50,000 "near misses." Disparities in MMM by race are marked; black women are disproportionately affected. We use Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory to examine the root causes of racial disparities in MMM at the individual (microsystem), interpersonal…July 2020Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Medicaid, Racism
- This episode of On the Evidence focuses on transition-age youth (ages 14 to 24) who have disabilities and must navigate a complex and fragmented system to access benefits and support services. Recent research suggests that it is possible to intervene with youth with disabilities and smooth the transition to adulthood, especially by providing well-designed, customized supports to specific…July 2020Services & Programs, Opportunity Youth
