- Appreciative Inquiry is a philosophy of relationship building and problem solving. It flips the focus from what isn’t working to what is working, and how to build on that. When the positives of a situation or relationship are highlighted, stakeholders are energized, responses are constructive, and confidence in a strategy for moving forward becomes mutual. This activity can be conducted with…May 2021Community-rooted/Participatory Research
- News headlines abound on food deserts. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines them as areas lacking ready access to healthy and cost-effective food choices. However, many food justice advocates prefer the term “food apartheid,” a phrase that highlights the systemic racism that underlies unequal access to food and centers the leadership of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC)…May 2021Services & Programs
- Compared with any other country in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United States spends more money on health care and still has the highest poverty rate measured by the OECD, the greatest income inequality, and some of the poorest health outcomes among developed countries (Escarce, 2019). For a variety of reasons, low-income individuals, people of color (POC…May 2021Social Environment

- In a time where the world is recovering from a global pandemic, opinions surrounding healthcare are more relevant than they have been many years. In December of 2020, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published an article reporting that racial minorities were disproportionately affected by the consequences of COVID-19. Interestingly enough, one of the factors affecting these…May 2021Social/Structural Determinants, Social Environment, Systemic Determinants, Racism

We examined the availability and geographic accessibility of pharmacies across neighborhoods based on their racial/ethnic composition in the thirty most populous US cities. In all cities…May 2021Physical Environment
- Historical and contemporary trauma among Native Americans is linked to disparate health outcomes across the lifespan including the very recent coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Early and prolonged exposure to positive family-child engagement activities and the natural environment (greenspace) act as protective factors against a range of maladaptive development across the lifespan. Yet, little…May 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Substance Use and Misuse

The guiding principle of…May 2021Communication
- Local health departments (LHDs) around the country are making tremendous progress in explicitly committing to end structural racism as a strategy to achieve health equity. Many local and state governments are passing resolutions and training staff on equity, creating and implementing work plans, and shifting organizational policies, practices, and culture to advance equity. This suggests palpable…May 2021Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Social/Structural Determinants
- Socially at-risk individuals receive lower-quality health care and experience worse health outcomes than more advantaged individuals. One way to address this in the Medicare population is to use Medicare’s value-based purchasing (VBP) programs, quality reporting efforts, and confidential reports as tools to drive improvements in quality. In particular, including health equity measurement…May 2021Health Reform

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the reproductive justice framework and demonstrate its value for social psychologists…May 2021Maternal Morbidity and Mortality, Abortion Access
- Humanitarian emergencies pose a great challenge to how all sectors perform their functions in society. In several countries, these emergencies combined the pandemic and other man-made and natural disasters: “double disaster”, which affected the health, safety, and well-being of both individuals and communities. Students are a particularly vulnerable population for mental health problems…April 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus, Mental/Behavioral Health, Environment/Context
- 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.

From an initial >26 000 studies, 243 published reports met inclusion criteria and…April 2021Health Reform
- We are responding to the misinformation being propagated about our study, “Implications of Future US Diet Scenarios on Greenhouse Gas Emissions,” published in 2020.1 In this study, we explore the effect on greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) of a hypothetical reduction in the consumption of animal-based foods in the U.S. diet and a replacement with plant-based foods. We have learned of various…April 2021Services & Programs
- Internalized racism, or the acceptance of negative stereotypes about one’s own racial group, is associated with psychological distress; yet, few studies have explored the longitudinal impact of internalized racism on the psychological well-being of African American emerging adults.

The guests discuss how public health can reduce…April 2021Chronic Disease, COVID-19/Coronavirus
