From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Today in Forefront, Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil discusses how Health
Affairs is setting priorities to advance health equity scholarship
and elevate new scholarly voices.
GrantWatch: Incarceration and Health
In the January GrantWatch column
,
author Lee L. Prina highlighted recent grants funding health care for
those who are, or were formerly, incarcerated. Following are a few
examples.
Funded by Arnold Ventures, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the
Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund, the Aspen Health Strategy Group
focused their studies on incarceration and health in 2021. A final
report is expected early this year.
In April 2021 the New York State Health Foundation awarded a $210,000
grant to the Osborne Association "to improve health care and outcomes
for older adults in New York State correctional facilities," according
to the foundation's website.
In November 2020 the California Wellness Foundation awarded a $422,500
grant to the Transitions Clinic Network, a consortium of primary care
clinics aiming to increase access to health services and reduce
recidivism among people with chronic illnesses who have recently been
released.
For more information about funders supporting health care for the
justice-involved population, read January's GrantWatch column
.
The Health Affairs Health Policy Brief "Prison and Jail Reentry and
Health
"
is helpful background reading on the topic of incarceration and health.
In the brief, Ebony Russ and coauthors explained that people reentering
communities after being incarcerated face "disproportionate rates of
mental health issues, suicide, substance use disorders, disabilities,
and physical disorders."
Take a moment to revisit the most-read GrantWatch Forefront articles
from 2021, which include articles on health equity, maternity care, and
social determinants of health.
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Hoangmai Pham and Amol Navathe
discuss how CMS should consider where its policies have impact beyond
Medicare
and where non-Medicare market dynamics modulate the effectiveness of its
programs.
Joshua Cohen and coauthors argue that health technology assessment
bodies
should promote the consideration of multiple possibilities for
qualitative assumptions.
