Dear John,
Violence permeates our society. One response to violence is to better
understand its origins and how to prevent it.
In light of the tragedy that occurred yesterday in Uvalde, Texas, we
invite you to read the Violence and Health
issue of Health
Affairs to better understand the impacts that gun violence has on
communities.
We recognize that reading about these topics can be difficult. For
Mental Health Awareness month, we'd like to share the reminder that if
you are experiencing a mental health emergency, you can call the
national helpline at 1-800-662-HELP for support.
Nutrition And The Child Tax Credit
The Child Tax Credit was temporarily expanded between July and December
2021 as part of COVID-19-related federal policy changes. A May 2022
article examines how this policy affected nutritional health.
Using survey data, Elizabeth Adams and coauthors determine that during
the expansion, rates of very low food security were cut by more than
half
,
and there were small reductions in children's consumption of added
sugar.
Their findings suggest promise for the public health impact of the child
tax credit expansion on nutrition-related outcomes for children and
their families.
The expanded child tax credit expired in January 2022. "Our findings may
help inform policy discussion regarding the future of the [expanded
child tax credit] and its specific provisions," Adams and coauthors
write.
