- One in nine people worldwide are undernourished today. Farmers, fishers, farm workers, and others along the food chain are especially at risk for going hungry. At the same time, world agricultural systems are more productive than they’ve ever been, producing more than enough food to feed everyone. The problem isn’t lack of food, but who has the power and resources to access and control food.The…January 2022Services & Programs

- New polling data shows significant differences in trust by age, income, race, and sector. With the coronavirus and its variants here to stay, the U.S. vaccination rate hovers stubbornly around 60%. With each new wave, COVID-19 cases spike, and deaths soon follow — almost always more so in the most historically marginalized and resource-deprived neighborhoods and communities. Here in the AAMC’s…December 2021Environment/Context

- A growing body of research has identified health disparities among transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) adults in the United States, including substantial disparities in mental health, compared with their cisgender (heterosexual and sexual minority) counterparts. Differences in mental health may be influenced by the high levels of stress associated with being members of a marginalized…November 2021Mental/Behavioral Health
- Hate crimes against Asian American/Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) have surged in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic to alarming new levels. We analyzed data from the Healthy Minds Study, and found that COVID-19 related racial/ethnic discrimination was associated with greater odds of having depression, anxiety, non-suicidal self-injury, binge drinking, and suicidal ideation among AAPI…November 2021Mental/Behavioral Health, Racism
- Chronic kidney disease is an important clinical condition beset with racial and ethnic disparities that are associated with social inequities. Many medical schools and health centres across the USA have raised concerns about the use of race — a socio-political construct that mediates the effect of structural racism — as a fixed, measurable biological variable in the assessment of kidney disease.…November 2021Chronic Disease, Racism
- Population-based health studies demonstrate that sexual minorities (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual persons) have less access to health care services than their heterosexual counterparts. For example, sexual minorities are more likely than heterosexuals to delay or forgo necessary medical care and to not have a regular health care provider. Research suggests that these disparities can be attributed…November 2021Social Environment
- Low-wage workers in the US were the most likely to report missing work due to COVID-19 but the least likely to have access to paid sick days or family leave. As many required time off from work to quarantine, recover from serious symptoms, or to care for others, workers were sometimes forced to forgo wages and left without enough food to eat. Pre-pandemic, 24 percent of US workers did not…October 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Policy and Practice
- The COVID-19 pandemic’s disproportionate impact on people from some racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. persisted throughout 2021.

Early data show that hospitalization and mortality rates for Black, Latinx, and American Indian children are…October 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus

- Through the lens of administrative burden and ordeals, we investigate challenges that low-income families face in accessing health and human services critical for their children's healthy development.

- Black individuals are less likely to receive an accurate diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) than their White counterparts, possibly because diagnoses are typically made by a physician, often without reference to objective neuropsychological test data. We examined racial differences in actuarial MCI diagnoses among individuals diagnosed with MCI via semi-structured clinical interview (…September 2021Chronic Disease
- The pandemic has exposed long-standing inequalities in healthcare and created a stark contrast between the haves and have-nots. At the country-level, developing countries still do not have enough COVID-19 vaccine to cover the majority of its population. Within developed countries and specifically in underserved communities, vaccine hesitancy remains high and COVID-19 vaccination rates remain low…September 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Vaccines
- Changing the narrative: Structural barriers and racial and ethnic inequities in COVID-19 vaccinationThe COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States.

Various explanations have arisen for the cause of disparate vaccination rates among racial and ethnic minorities, including discussion of vaccine…September 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Vaccines
- Since the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in 2020, the United States suffered over 32 million infections, with an estimated death toll from COVID-19 of well over half a million as of April 2021. In addition to having a direct health impact through infection (the long-term effects of which are still being examined), the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically transformed how society…September 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Mental/Behavioral Health
- 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
