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.
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.
