Social Determinants Of Health
[link removed]
This week we launched a newsletter for Health Affairs Insiders covering
the topic of social determinants of health. Join Health Affairs Insider
or Unlimited to sign up for our exclusive newsletters.
The author of the first edition of the newsletter, Health Affairs'
Deputy Editor of Special Content Rob Lott
, writes about how the health care
landscape has adapted over time to account for community health.
More and more health care providers, payers, and policy makers are going
all in on social determinants of health-the concept that social
factors have just as much, if not more, of an impact on people's
long-term health as direct medical care.
Lott writes about how research around social determinants is maturing,
and regulators are updating their processes and systems to be more
flexible and supportive in responding to social determinants of health,
too.
Put simply, social determinants are "having a moment."
And it's in this moment that Health Affairs is well positioned to dig
deep, beyond the headlines and press releases, to explore what today's
big investments might mean for people's health tomorrow and beyond.
In the months to come, the Social Determinants of Health newsletter will
keep you up-to-date on the research on social determinants like food
security, health care access, and the digital divide and where that
research may be heading.
Read the whole newsletter by becoming a member of Health Affairs
Insider.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
In Health Affairs Forefront, authors cover topics including the
Children's Health Insurance Program, clinical laoratory tests, and Black
maternal health.
David Rubin and coauthors discuss the benefits of permanently funding
the Children's Health Insurance Program
(CHIP), which would provide stability to families in need. The authors
state that if CHIP were permanently funded, there would be an
opportunity for state innovation in the program, too.
Pamela Bradley and coauthors argue that complex clinical laboratory
tests can benefit from design controls
.
The authors indicate that many modern clinical tests have become
increasingly complex, creating a growing need for a systematic approach
to designing, maintaining, and improving tests.
Ashlei Spivey and Elizabeth Barajas-Román discuss the need for
investments in doulas
in order to improve Black and Brown maternal health in the US.
The authors reflect on research showing that doula-assisted mothers were
four times less likely to have a low birthweight baby and two times less
likely to experience a birth complication involving themselves or their
baby.
