- When state and local policymakers work to promote health equity—the guiding principle that disparities in health outcomes caused by factors such as race, income, or geography should be addressed and prevented, providing opportunities for all people to be as healthy as possible—they often lack quality data on specific problems and affected populations. Restrictive or unclear policies for data…July 2022Policy and Practice
- Large infrastructure projects, such as mining and renewable energy projects, can affect the health of surrounding communities by changing the natural, physical and social environment. While there is limited understanding of potential health impacts of such projects on local populations in general, there is a particular need for community-driven and equity-oriented approaches to predict and manage…July 2022Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Interventions
- The Denver Housing to Health (H2H) Pay for Success project will provide supportive housing for individuals at the intersection of multiple public systems—those who are experiencing homelessness; have a record of at least eight arrests, at least three of which are marked as transient, over three years in Denver County; have a recent Denver Police Department (DPD) contact; and are at high risk for…July 2022Housing Discrimination, Healthy Housing
- The distribution of power in society is “upstream of the upstream” social determinants of health, and community organizers redistribute power to change social and political systems that shape health. Power-building Partnerships for Health (PPH) was launched in 2018 and pairs local public health departments and community organizing groups to support transformational health equity work,…July 2022Policy and Practice, Advocacy, Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Interventions
- While states could not ban abortion while Roe v. Wade was in place, several passed laws that would criminalize the procedure when and if the 1973 court case was ever struck down. The overturning of Roe v. Wade has "triggered" laws in 13 states that severely restrict or ban abortion. Some of these trigger laws are being challenged by lawsuits. Additional states are likely to ban abortion.(author…June 2022
- There have been dramatic declines in routine vaccination rates during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a disproportionate drop among the most vulnerable and traditionally underserved populations. These declines and growing disparities have spurred greater focus on vaccination equity for all vaccinations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), including the COVID-19 vaccine…June 2022Vaccines
- On February 26, 2012, a Black child, Trayvon Martin, was executed in Sanford, Florida. Seventeen months later his killer was found not guilty. This is but one example of the state’s brazen disregard for Black life, rooted in the kidnapping and enslavement of Africans more than 400 years ago, and the ways in which they and their descendants were systematically tortured. Trayvon Martin’s murder…June 2022Social/Structural Determinants, Isms and Phobias, Racism
- The Supreme Court of the United States has made their decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning Roe v. Wade and jeopardizing the rights of millions of Americans. This decision allows states to reduce and criminalize access and support for abortion care. In the months and years ahead, it’s very likely that abortion will become entirely unavailable and criminalized in at…June 2022Reproductive/Sexual Health
- From 2014 to 2015, W.K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF) partnered with the University of New Mexico evaluation team to conduct a study to examine if and how the Foundation's investments in the strategies of folic acid initiative, home visiting, doulas, breastfeeding peer counselors and baby-friendly hospitals were improving maternal-child health in WKKF's priority places in New Mexico. One key finding…June 2022Maternal/Child Health
- There is a common misconception about trust-based philanthropy as extending “unconditional trust.” While the approach centers on building trusted relationships with grantees, this does not mean funders should abandon all expectations for mutual accountability and evaluation and learning. Quite the contrary, trust-based philanthropy is about building funder-grantee relationships grounded in power-…June 2022Policy and Practice
