are part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
Ariel Dora Stern and coauthors investigated biosimilars on the market and found that lower biosimilar product prices help offset increases in average annual reference-product prices.
Stern also appeared on this week’s episode of A Health Podyssey to discuss this research.

Violence Awareness Month. In a new article, Sarah James and coauthors analyzed data about adolescents in communities with a deadly gun violence incident in the past year and found that “only 4 percent of White
