The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Tuesday, August 10, 2021

Dear John,

**Health Affairs**' continued leadership in the field of health policy
is validated by its recent increase in Journal Impact Factor score to
6.301

for 2020, up almost a full point from 2019. This places

**Health Affairs** in the top tier of journals in two categories: Health
Policy and Services, and Health Care Sciences and Services.

COVID-19 And Social Determinants Of Health

For an article in the August issue, Sarah Miller and coauthors explored
the influence of socioeconomic status, occupation, race, and ethnicity
on COVID-19 mortality rates

during the beginning of the pandemic.

They observed increases in mortality rates for COVID-19 among
populations in group-living situations such as correctional facilities
or health care-related group quarters. They also observed increases in
mortality rates among those without health insurance, with family
incomes at or below the federal poverty level, and with occupations
having few work-from-home options.

Further, across almost all socioeconomic groups, they found that
non-Hispanic Black people experienced significantly higher increases in
mortality relative to non-Hispanic White people.

"Black people in the highest income group experienced an increase of
mortality more than 3.5 times larger than the increase in mortality
experienced by the poorest White people," they report.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Elizabeth Cope and coauthors discuss how
to increase the numbers and diversity of research participants

by returning value to participants and incorporating digital tools to
sustainably maximize impact and scale of these efforts.

Also, Liam Bendicksen and Christopher Koller argue that state policy
makers should allow federal and state antitrust authorities to enjoin
mergers

they deem anticompetitive.

And Katie Keith covers today's announcement from Vice President Harris
that more than 2.5 million people enrolled in Marketplace coverage

through HealthCare.gov and state-based Marketplaces during the Biden
administration's six-month broad COVID-19 special enrollment period.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its sixth
assessment report this week
