Sunday, May 1, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Dear John,

The National Academy of Science honored Shekinah A. Fashaw-Walters with the Heinz Dissertation Award for her dissertation "Inequities in Home Health Access, Outcomes, and the Impact of Public Reporting."

Read Fashaw-Walters' article "Out Of Reach: Inequities In The Use Of High-Quality Home Health Agencies" which was featured in the Racism and Health issue of Health Affairs.
This Week In Forefront
Health Affairs Forefront is the digital front page of health policy featuring commentary and analysis about topics like health spending, health reform, pharmaceuticals, COVID-19, and more.

An article by Katie Keith, published earlier this week, covers the final 2023 Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters issued by HHS. This is the Biden administration’s first full payment notice and it addresses changes for the 2023 plan year.

Additional articles published on the site this week covered various issues pertaining to health equity, including telehealth access, public health data, and opioid prescriptions.

In one article, Nadia Bey discusses how farmworkers should not be left out of the broader conversation surrounding telehealth, which can be an effective way to increase access to primary care for hard-to-reach populations.

Alonzo Plough and Gail Cristopher argue that US public health leaders should play an active role in driving multisector collaboration around public health data sharing.

Rachel Sadoff writes about opioid prescription gaps faced by Black Americans and the transgender and gender-diverse community.

Sadoff points out that Black Americans are 22 percent less likely than their White counterparts to receive pain medication across settings.

In a podcast episode of This Week, Health Affairs' Leslie Erdelack and Rob Lott go over the big health policy headlines from this week, including details on childhood vaccinations, Title 42 and the intersection of public health and border policies, and federal drug control strategies.
