- UNC Health rapidly launched a mobile Covid testing unit to underserved community sites in May 2020 to provide targeted testing of uninsured Black and Latinx community members. We engaged with existing Black and Latinx community leaders to co-develop the program, converting a mobile vascular screening unit into a testing site and resource center for patients at risk. In the first three months, 2,…October 2020COVID-19/Coronavirus, Community-rooted/Participatory Research
- Policies that increase access to SNAP are related to reduced risk of food insecurity, particularly among economically vulnerable households.More widely available school breakfast may help offset food insecurity. Policies outside of food assistance—including length of unemployment insurance availability, generosity of EITC and potentially higher minimum wages —are linked to food security. A higher…October 2020Services & Programs, Systemic Determinants
- Social factors are becoming more widely recognized as having an impact on health. There is growing evidence that social, economic, and environmental factors contribute significantly to disparities in health outcomes (Braveman et al 2011). As a result, those looking to close health disparities are increasingly looking at interventions that address structural issues that create an unfair and…September 2020Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Systemic Determinants
- Artificial intelligence (AI) systems for computer-aided diagnosis and image-based screening are being adopted worldwide by medical institutions. In such a context, generating fair and unbiased classifiers becomes of paramount importance. The research community of medical image computing is making great efforts in developing more accurate algorithms to assist medical doctors in the difficult task…June 2020Policy and Practice, Genderism

- Artificial intelligence (AI) is a family of techniques where algorithms uncover or learn associations of predictive power from data. An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem. The most tangible form of AI is machine learning, which includes a family of techniques called deep learning that rely on multiple layers of representation of data and are thus able to represent complex…December 2019Policy and Practice
- Issue: Kentucky was the first state approved to implement a work requirement for adult Medicaid beneficiaries. A federal judge blocked implementation right before it was scheduled to take effect, but the program may be reinstated on appeal. Goal: To examine several aspects of Kentucky’s Medicaid work requirements, including awareness and current work activities among Medicaid beneficiaries, and…September 2019Medicaid
- The private and public sectors are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI) systems and machine learning algorithms to automate simple and complex decision-making processes. The mass-scale digitization of data and the emerging technologies that use them are disrupting most economic sectors, including transportation, retail, advertising, and energy, and other areas. AI is also having…May 2019Policy and Practice
