Sunday, July 10, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From
Health Affairs

Dear John,

Recently, Health Affairs earned its highest-ever Journal Impact Factor
of 9.048, according to the recently released Journal Citation Reports®
(JCR) 2022 from Clarivate. This is a 44 percent increase

from Health Affairs' 2021 Journal Impact Factor.

What's New At Health Affairs

[link removed]

Earlier this week, we released the July issue of Health Affairs.

Most of the issue is devoted to an invited group of articles discussing
how we can prevent and improve
care and outcomes for type 2 diabetes. Additional articles in the issue
focus on behavioral health and health care spending and prices.

In their overview article, Puneet Kaur Chehal and coauthors find that
progress in diabetes prevention and treatment in the US has stalled
.
They argue that fragmentation in insurance coverage, payment, and
delivery have all contributed to poor diabetes outcomes.

Maria Alva and coauthors analyze national survey

data and determine that
13.5 percent of the population has prediabetes, representing a
4.8-percentage-point increase between 2010 and 2020.

Despite these trends, the authors find that "only 5 percent of patients
diagnosed with prediabetes were referred by a health care professional
to a diabetes prevention program."

Alva also wrote an essay for the
Health
Affairs Today

newsletter discussing their research on the diabetes prevention gap. For
more curated newsletters by health policy experts on topics like health
reform and social determinants of health, join Health Affairs Insider

Disability And Health

Health Affairs is publishing a theme issue on disability and health

in October 2022. Content will include original research, analyses, and
commentaries that provides a multidimensional perspective on disability
and health.

As part of Health Affairs' commitment to supporting and raising
awareness of disabilities and health, we will launch a video component,
as well as unique artwork and digital assets, alongside the research to
set the foundation of the issue.

We invite participants to submit their responses

to the proposals for video production and artwork and digital assets by
July 15.

We will also host a poetry contest

for the Narrative Matters section of the issue.

We are looking for well-crafted poems that touch on topics related to
disability and health, by writers with lived experience of disability.
(Note: This includes family members or caregivers of people with
disabilities.)

The winning poet will receive a $500 prize and publication in the
October issue of Health Affairs. The contest is open until July 25.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs

This month, Health Affairs will host events that cover emergency
department facility fees and type 2 diabetes. Check out our upcoming
events and be sure to
join our Events list so
you can always be notified about our programming.

In Health Affairs Forefront, Katie Keith discusses the Supreme Court
decisions

from the recently completed term that focus on the constitutional right
to an abortion, the methodology for Medicare disproportionate share
hospital payments, and climate change.

Richard Hughes IV also examines the Supreme Court and considers the
future of vaccine mandates.

He writes that Justice Gorsuch's message

to states about vaccine mandates may be interpreted to mean that a state
must always offer religious exemptions, which would negate the success
of public health in dramatically reducing the threat of
vaccine-preventable diseases.

Gerald Harmon and coauthors, all presidents or past presidents of
leading physician organizations, write about the Behavioral Health
Integration Collaborative
,
a group dedicated to improving quality of care and access to behavioral
health services.

In an episode of This Week, Health Affairs'  Leslie Erdelack and
Kathleen Haddad discuss the latest measures taken by CMS

regarding rural emergency hospitals and price transparency for hospitals
and payers.

Currently, more than 70 percent of our content is freely available-and
we'd like to keep it that way. With your support,

we can continue to keep our digital publication Forefront

and podcasts
