What's New In Health Affairs

Mass incarceration in the United States is a public health crisis that
disproportionately impacts communities of color. The reentry
population-people released back to the community following
incarceration-is sicker than the general population, faces barriers to
accessing health care, and often experiences homelessness, unemployment,
and a lack of social and family support.

**A new****Health Affairs Policy Brief**

**dives deeper into the link between community reentry and
health.**Ebony Russ and coauthors provide an overview of research
regarding the health outcomes and challenges associated with prior
incarceration, a review of strategies currently used to support the
health and well-being of the reentry population, and recommendations to
improve health and justice outcomes.  

"Criminal justice reform coupled with targeted upstream efforts-such
as investment in criminal justice-based reentry programs, support for
communities and the community health systems to which people return, and
enhanced research evaluation of reentry programming-are necessary to
mitigate the negative health impacts of mass incarceration," Russ and
her coauthors argue.

This week on Health Affairs Blog, Katie Keith discussed the 2022
Affordable Care Act Marketplace open enrollment period
,
which begins on November 1, 2021.

As part of a blog series on value assessment, Amol Navathe and coauthors
call on the health care community

to set an explicit intention to use payment as a way to eradicate
inequities.

Rachael Fleurence and coauthors discussed how rapid at-home COVID-19
tests

could play an important role in the next phase of the pandemic in the
United States.
