- Immunization inequity contributes to negative health outcomes for both individuals and the population as a whole. Equitable immunization systems not only prevent potentially devastating vaccine-preventable illnesses, but also generate health more broadly by attracting people, including marginalized populations, into healthcare to improve other health inequalities. While longstanding inequities in…June 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Vaccine Access and Uptake, Social/Structural Determinants
- Immigration has been historically and contemporarily racialized in the United States. Although each immigrant group has unique histories, current patterns, and specific experiences, racialized immigrant groups such as Latino, Asian, and Arab immigrants all experience health inequities that are not solely due to nativity or years of residence but also influenced by conditional citizenship and…June 2021Health Reform, Racism
- Loneliness and social isolation in older adults are serious public health risks affecting a significant number of people in the United States and putting them at risk for dementia and other serious medical conditions. A report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) points out that more than one-third of adults aged 45 and older feel lonely, and nearly one-…April 2021Aging and Life Course
- Differential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have brought deeply rooted inequities to the forefront, where increasing evidence has shown that racialized immigrant and migrant (im/migrant) populations face a disproportionate burden of COVID-19. Im/migrant communities may be worst affected by lockdowns and restrictive measures, face less opportunity to physically distance or stay home sick within…February 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Social/Structural Determinants
- Health inequity and not health equity is an ever-present problem for minority elders. We believe that health inequity in later life is best understood from a life-course perspective—to fully grasp current and past effects of inequities. Today, about one in every four adults ages 65 and older in the United States is part of a racial or ethnic minority group (i.e., Blacks/African Americans, Latinos…January 2021Aging and Life Course, Ageism

- The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has revolutionized the practice of ambulatory medicine, triggering rapid dissemination of digital healthcare modalities, including synchronous video visits. However, social determinants of health, such as age, race, income, and others, predict readiness for telemedicine and individuals who are not able to connect virtually…September 2020COVID-19/Coronavirus, HIV, Policy and Practice
- The rapid growth of the global aging population has raised attention to the health and healthcare needs of older adults. The purpose of this mini-review is to: (1) elucidate the complex factors affecting the relationship between chronological age, socio-economic status (SES), access to care, and healthy aging using a SES-focused framework; (2) present examples of interventions from across the…June 2020Aging and Life Course
- Social isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more…February 2020Aging and Life Course
