From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Register now for the next
Health Affairs Policy Spotlight
,
happening on February 28, 2022, 3-4 p.m. ET.
Health Affairs Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil will host Meena Seshamani,
Deputy Administrator & Director, Center for Medicare, Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Disenfranchisement And Health Equity
In their February article, Patricia Homan and Tyson Brown link
administrative data on disproportionate felony disenfranchisement of
Black residents
across US states to individual-level health data from the 2016 Health
and Retirement Study.
Their study reveals that "residing in states with higher levels of
racialized [electoral] disenfranchisement was associated with more
depressive symptoms, more functional limitations," and more difficulty
performing daily living tasks among Black people than among White
middle-aged and older adults.
In another article published in the Racism & Health issue, Katherine
Theall and colleagues determine that individuals in New Orleans
neighborhoods with high rates of police encounters
,
after other characteristics were controlled for, faced significant
health risks.
These included significantly higher rates of smoking, poor physical
health, low physical activity, violent crime, and domestic violence.
Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Polina Krass and coauthors discuss an
upcoming change to the US model for responding to individuals
experiencing a mental health crisis: the launch of 988, a three-digit,
national mental health crisis hotline.
Angela Thomas and coauthors propose changes to existing policies for
soliciting data on patient safety
to ensure inclusion of race/ethnicity information.
On GrantWatch, read personnel news of foundations
-from
California to Maine-that are funding in health, compiled and written
