Disparities Widened Between Low- And High-Poverty Counties" by Kevin
Nguyen of Brown University School of Public Health**

****

**Date: Thursday, December 9, 2021**
Time: 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. (EDT)

The centerpiece of the December Health Affairs Journal Club meeting is,

**"Despite National Declines In Kidney Failure Incidence, Disparities
Widened Between Low- And High-Poverty Counties."**

In the paper, which will publish in the December 2021 issue of the
journal, the authors examine trends in the incidence of kidney failure
by county-level poverty among US adults between 2000 and 2017. While
national estimates suggest that overall rates are declining, they found
there is marked disparity in incidence of kidney failure between low-
and high-poverty counties.
