The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Friday, October 22, 2021
Dear John,
In some exciting news, Health Affairs and our agency partner RocketMill
won a 2021 Search Award for "Best Use of
Search - Third Sector / Not For Profit"
for our work on Rapid
Response Pandemic Policy & Preparedness.
When the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic,
Health Affairs was the first to publish on most of the research that
impacted global policy and public health responses. To ensure that this
vital content was reaching a broader audience, we reengineered our
publication process to publish quickly at scale.

Perinatal Mental Illness Nearly Ended My Life
[link removed]
In October's Narrative Matters essay
,
Kara Zivin, a psychiatry professor and researcher, recounts her
experience with perinatal depression and time in a psychiatric ward days
after giving birth.
"What finally worked to stem the tide of perinatal depression included
nine rounds of electroconvulsive therapy, which uses brief electrical
currents applied to the brain. I began treatment six weeks postpartum,
and within a few short days, my depression began to lift," Zivin
explains.
Now Zivin's health services research on perinatal mental illness is
closely tied to her personal story, which she highlights during public
presentations. "As a tenured professor of psychiatry, how could I not
serve as an example of recovery and fighting stigma?" she writes.
Zivin also makes policy recommendations from her "dual perspective as a
survivor and a health services and policy researcher."
Her recommendations include expanding psychiatric mother-baby mental
health programs, tracking mental health contributors to maternal
morbidity and mortality, and educating the public about perinatal mental
health.
Today on Health Affairs Blog, Anita Chandra and coauthors discuss how a
"human infrastructure" bill to invest more in children and families
could represent a shift in the social contract, with significant health
implications.
Walter Panzirer covers a recent national survey
on telehealth that looked at the reasons that patients sought remote
care, the barriers that consumers faced in using telehealth, and more.
