Using a new Urban Institute dataset…October 2022Housing Discrimination, Racism

All countries face their own unique inequities in health status or in the distribution of health care resources among different population groups.

- As health care institutions push to address health equity, the underlying assumption is that all that is needed is more internal work; that institutions can simply hold themselves accountable. While this is a necessary component, it is insufficient. As evidenced by the persistence of health inequities, there also needs to be strong mechanisms by which others–including employees, patients,…September 2022Policy and Practice
