- In response to calls to achieve racial equity, racism has been declared as a public health crisis. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is an approach public health organizations are pursuing to address racial inequities in health. However, public health workforce perceptions about organizational commitment to DEI have not yet been assessed. Using a nationally representative survey of public…January 2023Education
- While the COVID pandemic and most recent racial reckoning galvanized the traditional health philanthropy community, many corporate funders made their first foray into supporting racial and social justice efforts as well as health equity. Corporate social responsibility efforts were, and continue to be, scrutinized as merely cosmetic public relations efforts with no real long-term, institutional…October 2022Early Childhood Education
- Socio-economic inequalities in a wide range of health outcomes are pervasive and enduring. Most often, the association between socio-economic indicators and health is inversely graded (commonly known as social gradients in health) so that the higher the socio-economic position (SEP), the lower is the rate of morbidity and mortality. SEP is a broad concept capturing resource- and prestige-based…April 2022Early Childhood Education, Social Environment

- There is an increasing need for academic health centers (AHCs) to engage communities across their clinical, research, and educational missions. Although AHCs have a long-standing history of community service, a more comprehensive approach to working with communities is required to respond to shifts toward a population health paradigm, funder requirements for community engagement in research, and…June 2019Community-rooted/Participatory Research, School-Based Health Care
- Adults with higher educational attainment live healthier and longer lives compared to their less educated peers. The disparities are large and widening. We posit that understanding the educational and macro-level contexts in which this association occurs is key to reducing health disparities and improving population health. In this paper, we briefly review and critically assess the current state…January 2018Postsecondary Education
- Americans with more education live longer, healthier lives than those with fewer years of schooling. But why does education matter so much to health? The links are complex—and tied closely to income and to the skills and opportunities that people have to lead healthy lives in their communities. How are health and education linked? There are three main connections:Education can create…February 2015Early Childhood Education, High School Graduation
