From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Health Affairs is seeking an Editor-in-Chief
to help
develop and launch a new journal - Health Affairs Scholar.
What's New At Health Affairs
In an ahead-of-print article
released this week, Jing Huang and coauthors match and compare cohorts
from 394 counties in the United States to estimate the association
between county-level public masking mandates and the daily COVID-19 case
incidence.
The authors determine that mask mandates were associated with reduced
case incidence six weeks following the onset of the mandate.
Their findings indicate that on average, the daily case incidence per
100,000 people in masked counties compared with unmasked counties
declined by 23 percent at four weeks.
The effect was strongest among urban counties, where reductions in
COVID-19 incidence reached 27 percent.
An additional ahead-of-print article released this week
,
Katie Keith gives an update on happenings around the Affordable Care
Act.
In this Eye on Health Reform article, Keith reports that consumers
continue to enroll in marketplace coverage at record-breaking numbers
and highlights the Biden administration's notice of benefit and
payment parameters rule and other guidance for the 2023 plan year.

As part of our kickoff for our February theme issue on Racism & Health
, we livestreamed an
event
with Georgetown University's Christopher King to discuss how
structural racism and historical events affect and potentially
disenfranchise Black residents in Washington, DC.
Following this event, Health Affairs also hosted a virtual symposium
with panels of distinguished authors to
discuss the historical context, evolving research practices and
policies, and the lived experience of populations whose health has been
harmed by individual and structural racism.
Video for both events are now available for viewing
.
For more events like this, join us on February 22 for the next Health
Affairs Journal Club
, to
discuss new research about the potentially stigmatizing language in the
electronic health records
of patients.
