The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Friday, May 28, 2021
Dear John,
Today we look back on the content we were publishing around this time
last year.
Social Distancing Measures Reduced COVID-19 Growth
While we are still in the midst of a global pandemic, it is easier for
many to look optimistically toward the future than it was at the end of
May 2020.
Notably, Health Affairs published emerging research about social
distancing measures
to reduce COVID-19 spread in May 2020. Charles Courtemanche and
coauthors found that adoption of state and local government-imposed
social distancing measures reduced the daily growth rate of confirmed
COVID-19 cases by 5.4 percentage points after one to five days and 9.1
percentage points after sixteen to twenty days.
The paper became the third most-read Health Affairs article in 2020 and
was cited in policy reports from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention as well as in more than 100 journals and more than 200 news
stories last year.
On May 28, 2020, Health Affairs Blog published multiple posts about
COVID-19. Ashley Andreou advocated for culturally competent strategies
to combat the spread of zoonotic disease
.
Hefei Wei and coauthors expanded on a research article
and put their work about self-help groups and medication in opioid use
disorder treatment
in the context of the pandemic.
Today on Health Affairs Blog, Benjamin Barsky and colleagues write on
COVID-19, decarceration, and bending the arc of justice
.
Further, Eric Reinhart discusses how accounting for the harms of
policing and incarceration is essential for improving US health
and addressing racial inequalities.

Month: Ateev Mehrotra, Neeraj Sood, and colleagues wrote in 2017 that
Americans support price shopping for health care, but few actually seek
out price information
