Monday, December 12, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News
From Health Affairs
Dear John,
As a reminder, Health Affairs Insiders are invited to join us on
Thursday, December 15, for our next Journal Club
<[link removed]>.
Author Lia Fernald will dive into the research methods and findings of
her article, "Understanding Take-Up Of The Earned Income Tax Credit
(EITC) Among Californians With Low Income
<[link removed]>."
Â
Economic Well-Being and Health
The December 2022 issue of Health Affairs includes several articles
about income support programs for families and inequitable access to
this assistance. The research focuses primarily on the Earned Income Tax
Credit (EITC) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
In an introductory analysis article, Daniel Finkelstein and colleagues
describe the relationship between income and health
<[link removed]>.
Although various government programs provide a financial safety net, the
authors point out that "there is inequitable access to these programs,
which can exacerbate health disparities."
In the article, Finkelstein and colleagues examine how income can affect
an individuals' ability to afford materials and services to stay healthy
as well as influence levels of stress.
Their article sets the stage for the additional research featured in the
December 2022 issue
<[link removed]>
that addresses equitable access to available income supports for
families and caregivers.
This bundle of articles presents findings from the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation's Equity-Focused Policy Research program.

Today on Forefront, Rich Joseph and Makeeba McCreary argue that health
equity funding needs to be redesigned
<[link removed]>,
and they point out how most philanthropic dollars seem to go toward
short-term, deficit-based, and scope-limited projects-charitable
donations rather than sustainable investments.
