- The article, COVID-19 Medical Vulnerability Indicators: Predictive Local Data Model for Equity in Public Health Decision-Making (2021), is an important contribution to identifying and prioritizing the needs of Los Angeles’ public healthcare in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The authors developed a framework for, in effect, disaggregating a diverse population’s complex vulnerabilities…May 2021Policy and Practice
- Evidence-informed policy action has improved the health of populations for decades; however, in many contexts, there is limited evidence that it does, mostly because of shortcomings in the process of policy-making. Evidence-based policy-making assists in making decisions about projects and programmes at every stage by using evidence to inform the policy process, rather than directly targeting the…March 2021Policy and Practice, Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Interventions
- 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
- African Americans are disproportionately affected by COVID-19-related disease and mortality due to long-standing social, political, economic, and environmental injustice; and COVID-19 inequities are exacerbated by institutional distrust. In the absence of trust, public health authorities have not adequately fulfilled their professional and ethical obligations to protect African American…March 2021COVID-19/Coronavirus

This has limited sustainable and equitable population health improvement. Systems change plays a major role in the relation between implementation processes and at-scale institutionalisation of…March 2021Social/Structural Determinants, Systemic Determinants

Discussion: Sociocultural food practices relate to ideas and materials that give…December 2020Chronic Disease, Social Environment
- Climate change has altered global to local weather patterns and increased sea levels, and it will continue to do so. Average temperatures, precipitation amounts, and other variables such as humidity levels are all rising. In addition, weather variability is increasing, causing, for example, a greater number of heat waves, many of which are more intense and last longer, and more floods and…December 2020Climate Change
- The patient experience is now globally recognized as an independent dimension of health-care quality. However, although patients, providers, health-care managers, and policy-makers agree on its importance, there is no standardized definition of the patient experience. A clear understanding of the basic concepts that make up the foundation of the patient experience is more important than a…August 2020Community-rooted/Participatory Research
