Paid family leave access has grown, but disparities have grown too. There’s no denying we need #PaidLeave public policies to reach everyone. New analysis from @NewAmerica @BetterLifeLab: newamerica.org/better-life-l…
This!! I’ve been on this soap box since my early @cityblockhealth days, and this piece expertly articulates why research/evaluation should be a part of building AND scaling health care orgs!
In my latest @forbeshealth blog, I share why every healthcare organization should employ (or partner with) health services researchers.

“Sadly, the fiction that the US -all of the US-values and supports families has been laid bare…To the extent the United States has become more family friendly since Dobbs, the passage of new laws has largely been concentrated in states that protect the right to abortion.”
My latest in @GlobeOpinion: Since Dobbs, "[t]he passage of new laws has largely been concentrated in states that protect the right to abortion....This fragmentation in policy will also lead to fragmentation in outcomes."

1/ Indiana's #abortion ban takes effect today. #IN also does not guarantee #PaidLeave & restricts localities from doing so. The latest in the divide between states that support freedom, family & autonomy and states like IN that don't.
Reupping this:
newamerica.org/the-thread/ab…
And some states go even further and #preempt cities from enacting their own policies
In the year since I first posted this, not much has changed. None of the states that banned abortion have #PaidLeave.
They took away your right to decide if and when you'll have children and did nothing to protect your job or paycheck while you're pregnant or caring for a child.

A Year After Dobbs: Banning abortion has extensive ramifications, from exacerbated health inequities to increased pressure on safety nets.
@JuliaCraven, Jackie Jahn, @Alinasmahl, & @VShabo discuss the importance of paid family leave & abortion access.

Since #Dobbs, states with abortion bans far outpace those offering paid family leave | Opinion --
@jaquelynjahn and I argue that “state governments are sending a clear message: you don’t control your bodies, your health, or your career. We do.” inquirer.com/opinion/comment… 1/3
Half of US states now restrict abortion, and none of those states provide paid family leave. These policies create an impossible situation for so many birthing people: forcing them to give birth and then immediately return to work or go without pay 2/3
Based on research in @AmJPrevMed w/ @jlpomeranz
@OlearyGabby @nina_y_sun and Irene Headen. We find that in 17 of the 25 states that restrict abortion, states go further and #preempt, or prohibit, cities from having paid family leave policies. ajpmonline.org/article/S0749…
Okay Minnesota, passing paid sick and family leave!!! (And so much more!!)

“…drawn attention to the lack of paid family leave for staff even at institutions like ours…And I hope that we in public health will not forget the impact of work on health and the pervasive way in which it drives health” #paidfamilyleave

My soapbox on👇- lack of sector (and investor) impetus for proving out models (aka robust evaluation) means we don’t know which work, and there’s limited sharing of lessons/model generalizability, leading to limited meaningful system level change.
Read below for our commentary (rant) on the role of capitalism and dominant individualistic narratives in the COVID-19 response— and our ideas for #epidemiology going forward
