- Large infrastructure projects, such as mining and renewable energy projects, can affect the health of surrounding communities by changing the natural, physical and social environment. While there is limited understanding of potential health impacts of such projects on local populations in general, there is a particular need for community-driven and equity-oriented approaches to predict and manage…July 2022Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Interventions
- The lack of literature on Indigenous conceptions of health and the social determinants of health (SDH) for US Indigenous communities limits available information for Indigenous nations as they set policy and allocate resources to improve the health of their citizens. In 2015, eight scholars from tribal communities and mainstream educational institutions convened to examine: the limitations of…June 2022Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Social/Structural Determinants
- Background: A strengths-based lens is essential for the pursuit of health equity among Indigenous populations. However, health professionals are often taught and supported in practice via deficit-based approaches that perpetuate inequity for Indigenous peoples. Deficit narratives in healthcare and health education are reproduced through practices and policies that ignore Indigenous strengths,…June 2022Interventions
- This study explored the role of social activism in the association of exposure to media coverage of police brutality and protests with perceptions of mental health. Data for this study came from a sample of African Americans (N = 304) who responded to an online survey. Perceptions of mental health were assessed using a single item developed by the research team. Exposure to police brutality and…May 2022Structural Violence, Mental/Behavioral Health, Advocacy
- Health equity means everyone can live the healthiest life possible. Health inequities are unnatural, unjust, and avoidable. To advance health equity, we believe it is critical to interrogate how funding, research, and community intersect to align and harmonize our efforts to create an equitable and just world. These resources compiled by the P4HE Collaborative Team are provided to support…February 2022Policy and Practice, Social/Structural Determinants
- The study of social inequality and stratification (e.g., ethnoracial and gender) has long been at the core of sociology and the social sciences. In this article, I argue that certain tendencies have become entrenched in our dominant paradigm that leave many researchers pursuing coarse-grained analyses of how difference relates to inequality. Centrally, despite the importance of categories and…February 2022Policy and Practice
- Structural racism toward American Indians and Alaska Natives is found in nearly every policy regarding and action taken toward that population since non-Natives made first contact with the Indigenous peoples of the United States. Generations of American Indians and Alaska Natives have suffered from policies that called for their genocide as well as policies intended to acculturate and dominate…February 2022Policy & Law, Social/Structural Determinants, Historical Trauma, Systemic Determinants, Racism
- Theoretical research suggests that racialized felony disenfranchisement—a form of structural racism—is likely to undermine the health of Black people, yet empirical studies on the topic are scant. We used administrative data on disproportionate felony disenfranchisement of Black residents across US states, linked to geocoded individual-level health data from the 2016 Health and Retirement Study,…February 2022Policy and Practice, Racism
- Background: Urban greening may reduce loneliness by offering opportunities for solace, social reconnection and supporting processes such as stress relief. We (i) assessed associations between residential green space and cumulative incidence of, and relief from, loneliness over 4 years; and (ii) explored contingencies by age, sex, disability and cohabitation status.Methods: Multilevel logistic…February 2022Social Environment
- Despite remarkable progress, tobacco control efforts are not equitably distributed, and tobacco-related disparities continue to contribute to significant health disparities. Our premise in this commentary is that Intersectionality can serve as a productive analytical framework for examining tobacco-related disparities across and within multiple marginalized populations. Intersectionality is a…February 2022Environment/Context
