Developing a research agenda…January 2022Policy and Practice, Racism
- The story of our nation is one of justice and freedom, but the unspoken truth is too many people are shut out of equal opportunities because of the color of their skin. Civil Rights laws and advocacy movements have brought racial inequities to light, but have not solved urgent problems caused by structural racism. This inequity has led to wide-scale poorer health outcomes and shorter life spans.…January 2022Racism
- Art can often act as an entry point for conversations that can be difficult to engage in naturally and spontaneously. The National Academy of Medicine (NAM), a non-profit organization principally focused on solving pressing issues in health and medicine through traditional scientific methods, has recently begun to use art as a way to expand its impact and intentionally include underrepresented…March 2021Policy and Practice
- This data and its corresponding visualizations illustrate the average age that a newborn would likely live to, if he/she were affected by the sex- and age-specific death rates linked to the time of his/her birth, for a specific year and country/territory/geographic area.

- This data and its corresponding visualizations illustrate the probability of someone dying from the ages of 15 to 60 years old per a population of 1000 people each year. This is an important measurement because, in developing countries, disease burden from non-communicable diseases among adults is rising. Therefore, adult mortality is an indicator of a population's mortality pattern.May 2018Aging and Life Course
- Where an individual chooses to live can have a profound effect on their short- and long-term health. “Eight Americas: Investigating Mortality Disparities Across Races, Counties, and Race-Counties in the United States,” a paper by Murray et al.
