I’m back from 👶🏼 leave and excited to share our analysis of costs and cost-effectiveness of a subsidized #CommunitySupportedAgriculture intervention for HHs with children. link.springer.com/article/10… @osuhrs @Glenn_college @iha_tamu
As we collectively pursue more cross-sector solutions to persistent issues of #FoodInsecurity and other wicked #PublicHealth health problems, costing data is key to inform our public and private investments. 💵

“If you think about relationships first, you’ll get it right.” Yes! 🙌🏻 A great example of the social relationships at the core of successful #FoodIsMedicine initiatives.

“My rural [upbringing] was not this rural.” -critical (and relatable) acknowledgment by @KathrynEdin when discussing the deeply disadvantaged communities studied for ‘The Injustice of Place’. Rural communities warrant greater focus, and it’s key to recognize their heterogeneity.
❗ Join us later today for a #PolicyTalks about #SystemicPoverty with ‘Injustice of Place’ authors Luke Shaefer, @KathrynEdin and @Tijone alongside Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan COO Nicole Sherard-Freeman.
🗓️ Oct 4, 4:00-5:30 PM ET
📍 Annenberg Auditorium
See here for a helpful resource that groups rural regions based on 50 assets: reenvisioning-rural-america.… Food for thought: How can we leverage these insights to inform the sustainment and scaling of #healthequity interventions across rural contexts?

The association of socioeconomic status with CV health measures is strongest among white adults vs. adults from other racial groups in the U.S., suggesting health policies must address other social factors driving inequality @OhioStateMed @joshuajosephmd healio.com/news/cardiology/2…

With so much focus on social determinants of health, recent research published in @Health_Affairs on the Accountable Health Communities (AHC) Model provides a bit of a reality check how difficult it is to connect people to help addressing #SDOH
The practice of reflexivity isn’t just for qualitative science. 🪞
"For some, the notion that scientists are subject to human error and frailty weakens science in the public eye. But scientists shouldn’t be afraid to acknowledge their humanity," argues @hholdenthorp in a new Editor's Blog post. scim.ag/2AC

Community engagement is one way states are attempting to establish & maintain trust while improving the accessibility and quality of healthcare for everyone.
What does effective community engagement that advances #HealthEquity actually look like? 👇 1/ rwjf.ws/3XPE5gA

New from @Carolynyjohnson @washingtonpost: I wrote about high-priced drugs for years. Then my toddler needed one.
This is an important read. The story of #Pharmacoequity isn't one of wonky policy articles, its about real families leading healthy lives.

#Rural communities experience significant #HealthDisparities but remain less likely than their urban counterparts to be included in #PreventiveMedicine research. Mail-based 📬 recruitment may help.
Proud of @osuhrs PhD Candidate Khawlah Al-Muhanna for leading this paper!

"Yes, the burden is disproportionate in terms of the effects of diet-related chronic diseases…but everyone has to buy in, because we’re all sharing the healthcare costs," said @iha_tamu's @patrickjstover. "This is everyone’s problem." #AgForHealth

"The burden of chronic diseases is not shared evenly across the United States. [It] is concentrated...in our underserved and minority communities," said @iha_tamu's @patrickjstover. "It really calls into question the stability of our civil society."
