Susanna Trost On Addressing Perinatal Mental Health To Curb Maternal Mortality
Listen to Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil interview Susanna Trost, an Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education Fellow at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on addressing perinatal mental health as a factor in maternal mortality.
Health Affairs Senior Editor Laura Tollen joins Deputy Editor Rob Lott to share details about the Considering Health Spending initiative, the launch of its dedicated newsletter, and discuss the latest research on health care spending and value.
Health Affairs plans to publish a thematic issue on the topic of Disability and Health in October 2022. In connection with this
issue, we will issue a Request for Abstracts on November 22, 2021, with abstracts due on December 20, 2021.
More than 30 years after the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law, people with disabilities continue to face inequities in the health care system that lead to disparities in access to care, health status, and outcomes.
The problem is not limited to inadequacies of the medical care system--inequities in access to care and outcomes also arise from disparities in access to education, employment, housing, and
transportation.
Addressing these barriers is critical to advancing health equity. Our theme issue will aid in that effort by presenting empirical research, reviews, analyses, commentaries, and perspectives addressing pressing policy issues.
The Request for Abstracts has not yet opened. We invite you to familiarize yourself with our Request for Abstract submission requirements and guidelines or contact us by email if you have questions. You will receive a separate email in a few weeks when the abstract submission portal has opened, and we will welcome your
submissions at that time.
