- As advocates for health equity—when everyone has a just opportunity to live their highest health potential—we need to stop talking about eliminating health inequities. Not because unjust differences in health across groups don’t matter or because we don’t need to transform systems to produce equitable outcomes for all. Rather, framing our focus on reducing differences in health obscures the…October 2022Communication

- Tobacco use remains the nation’s leading cause of preventable premature death, including death from cancer, and progress in reducing tobacco use and related disease and death has not been equally distributed across population groups. This monograph examines the current evidence surrounding tobacco-related health disparities (TRHD) across the tobacco use continuum—initiation, secondhand smoke…October 2022Environment/Context
- Over the past 50 years, 16 states, the District of Columbia, and 106 local governments have passed laws that prohibit landlords from discriminating against tenants who receive housing choice vouchers. These laws generally outlaw discrimination based on the tenant’s “source of income,” whether that source is a job, a pension, alimony, or government assistance. Using a new Urban Institute dataset…October 2022Housing Discrimination, Racism
- While the COVID pandemic and most recent racial reckoning galvanized the traditional health philanthropy community, many corporate funders made their first foray into supporting racial and social justice efforts as well as health equity.

As follow up to article one on recent health equity regulations, this article provides an overview of the major…October 2022Policy and Practice
- Health in the United States is not equally distributed; there is a 15-year gap in life expectancy between the richest and poorest 1 percent of Americans. There is clear evidence that health and health inequities are largely determined by the conditions in which we are born, grow, live, work, and age—the social determinants of health (SDOH). These include education, employment, income, and housing…October 2022Environmental/Community Health
- This year’s National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) theme, Disability: Part of the Equity Equation, led us to reflect on our own workplace and how Mathematica incorporates diverse voices from people with disabilities throughout our organization.

To collectively accomplish this vision, we gather relevant information from our grantees to better…October 2022Services & Programs
- When talking about whole-person health care, the terminology itself can be confusing, misleading, and laden with New-Age stigmas. But use a different word--integrative. Integrative medicine combines the best in traditional health care. It seeks to treat illness with medication and/or medical procedures, with non-traditional research- and outcome-based therapies that fall into a…October 2022Services & Programs
- In September 2022, the Convergence Partnership released the first-ever report to focus exclusively on the funding of narrative change, Funding Narrative Change, An Assessment and Framework.

- Although housing is a human right, we are far from everyone having access to safe and adequate housing. Large inequities in housing affordability and quality persist in the U.S. and policies continue to perpetuate those injustices. Cross-sector efforts are needed to ensure fair housing for all.

- The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated longstanding racial disparities in health in the United States and highlighted the need to address inequities across a range of health system functions. All countries face their own unique inequities in health status or in the distribution of health care resources among different population groups. We looked at how eight high-income countries (Australia,…September 2022Health Reform
- As health care institutions push to address health equity, the underlying assumption is that all that is needed is more internal work; that institutions can simply hold themselves accountable. While this is a necessary component, it is insufficient. As evidenced by the persistence of health inequities, there also needs to be strong mechanisms by which others–including employees, patients,…September 2022Policy and Practice
- The growing centering of equity in health has elevated a conversation about how those interests should translate within the systems and sectors that influence health. In particular, the public health data system has been relatively limited in capturing the drivers and consequences of health inequity as well as the varying dimensions of equity. This article examines what it means to use equity as…September 2022Health Reform, Environment/Context
