- For decades, tobacco companies have used promotions, targeted marketing, and other tactics to unfairly increase access to and appeal of tobacco products for certain population groups. Discrimination, poverty, and other social conditions have also been linked to tobacco product use and can make it harder to quit. These factors are linked to high levels of disease, disability, and death from…May 2024Environment/Context

- Hospital at Home (HaH) has been demonstrated to be effective in a variety of settings and patient populations.1, 2 However, it is unknown whether HaH is feasible or effective for socioeconomically disadvantaged patients. Our aim is to determine whether HaH services were received by disadvantaged patients, and if so, whether effectiveness differs for patients depending on socioeconomic status (SES…April 2022Environment/Context
- 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

- The relationship between housing and health is more than just the four walls that shelter an individual or family each night. More broadly, the link between health and housing is a result of influences from both the individual home unit and a variety of structural and societal factors within a neighborhood. These elements have the potential to provide safety, recreation, access to transportation…May 2020Housing Discrimination, Social/Structural Determinants, Environment/Context, Systemic Determinants, Healthy Housing, Racism
- While the number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness has decreased over the last ten years, the number of older adults experiencing sheltered homelessness is on the rise, as we report in Housing America’s Older Adults 2019. Incomes for the lowest-income older adults have not risen as fast as rents, leaving a growing number of older adult renters at risk for homelessness as they…November 2019Environment/Context
- Digital technologies shape the way in which individuals and health systems interact to promote health and treat illness. Their propensity to exacerbate inequalities is increasingly being highlighted as a concern for public health. Personal, contextual and technological factors all interact and determine uptake and consequent use of digital technologies for health. This article reviews evidence on…October 2019Systemic Determinants
- Transgender people experience intersecting forms of social marginalization and are disproportionately affected by health inequities. We elucidate a novel conceptual framework for transgender health research that theorizes the constructs and pathways through which social inequities produce health inequities for transgender populations. Drawing on theories of intersectionality and structural…October 2019Systemic Determinants, Transphobia
- Housing is a major pathway through which health disparities emerge and are sustained over time. However, no existing unified conceptual model has comprehensively elucidated the relationship between housing and health equity with attention to the full range of harmful exposures, their cumulative burden and their historical production. We synthesized literature from a diverse array of disciplines…September 2019Housing Discrimination, Social/Structural Determinants, Environment/Context, Healthy Housing, Racism
- Homelessness represents an enduring public health threat facing communities across the developed world. Children, families, and marginalized adults face life course implications of housing insecurity, while communities struggle to address the extensive array of needs within heterogeneous homeless populations.

- The environmental and health consequences of climate change, which disproportionately affect low-income countries and poor people in high-income countries, profoundly affect human rights and social justice. Environmental consequences include increased temperature, excess precipitation in some areas and droughts in others, extreme weather events, and increased sea level. These consequences…November 2015Climate Change, Environmental Injustice
- In an op-ed piece in the New York Times on Wednesday, columnist Thomas Edsall opened with a pair of provocative questions: If its goal is to move up the ladder, where should a poor family live? Should federal dollars go toward affordable housing within high-poverty neighborhoods, or should subsidies be used to move residents of impoverished communities into more upscale—and more resistant—…August 2015Housing Discrimination, Physical Environment, Systemic Determinants
- Background: An inequitable distribution of parks and other ‘green spaces’ could exacerbate health inequalities if people on lower incomes, who are already at greater risk of preventable diseases, have poorer access.Methods: The availability of green space within 1 kilometre of a Statistical Area 1 (SA1) was linked to data from the 2011 Australian census for Sydney (n = 4.6 M residents); Melbourne…March 2014Social/Structural Determinants, Physical Environment, Access, Global Health
- Bodies of research pertaining to specific stigmatized statuses have typically developed in separate domains and have focused on single outcomes at 1 level of analysis, thereby obscuring the full significance of stigma as a fundamental driver of population health. Here we provide illustrative evidence on the health consequences of stigma and present a conceptual framework describing the…May 2013Environment/Context, Isms and Phobias
