The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Journal Club meeting in November
is, "Racial And Ethnic Inequalities In COVID-19 Mortality Within
Carceral Settings: An Analysis Of Texas Prisons."

Using a unique data set from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice
and medical examiner records, the authors analyzed mortality patterns of
the population incarcerated in Texas state prison facilities before and
during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors determined
that during the first year of the pandemic, mortality rates for Black
and Hispanic people in Texas prisons were 1.61 and 2.12 times higher,
respectively, than for White people.

On November 21, please join co-author Neal Marquez, a PhD student in
sociology at the University of Washington, for a detailed discussion of
the paper's data, methods, and policy conclusions. Health Affairs
Senior Editor Jonathan Bor will host.

Date: Monday, November 21, 2022
Time: 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Eastern
