The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Tuesday, September 28, 2021
Dear John,

An article in the September issue of Health Affairs discusses food insecurity among health care workers in the US.

Food Insecurity Among Health Care Workers In The US
Mithuna Srinivasan and coauthors analyzed national survey data to investigate food insecurity among health care workers in the US.

They found that, across health care occupational categories, 6.6 percent of health care workers reported experiencing food insecurity in the past month, with the highest rates seen among workers in nursing and residential care facilities.

Specifically, in these facilities, “health care support workers had 9.8 times greater odds of food insecurity and health technologists and technicians had 5.8 times greater odds of food insecurity compared with health care practitioners.”

For more on food insecurity, revisit a recent episode of the This Week podcast in which Health Affairs editors discussed the latest on the average Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit, which is set to increase in October.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, David Shulkin, former secretary of the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), explains that the VA system is well positioned to explore therapies to treat posttraumatic stress.

Elevating Voices: Hispanic Heritage Month: In a 2016 research article, José Manuel Aburto, Hiram Beltrán-Sánchez, Victor Manuel García-Guerrero, and Vladimir Canudas-Romo found that an unprecedented rise in homicides in Mexico reversed life expectancy gains for men and slowed them for women between 2000 and 2010.

Request for Proposals, Racism and Health Theme Issue
Health Affairs is planning a theme issue on racism and health, with an emphasis on structural racism, to be published in February 2022. We plan to publish approximately 20 peer-reviewed articlesincluding original research, analyses, commentaries, and Narrative Mattersfrom a diverse group of researchers, scholars, community health leaders, analysts, and health care stakeholders, among others.

We envision that the theme issue would include other novel elements such as art, poetry, and multimedia components. As part of our commitment, we will launch a video component alongside the research to set the foundation of the issue, introduce an interactive element to the research, and reach new audiences who do not currently read Health Affairs.

We encourage interested applicants to respond to our Request For Proposals, due October 1, 2021.
