Lisa Simpson, AcademyHealth President and CEO, opened the 2023 AcademyHealth Annual Research Meeting with the following remarks, encouraging attendees to be guided by three core passions in their work to achieve impact and drive change.
The Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision has much to say about the integrity of federal race/ethnicity data and the future of relying on such data in disparities research and, ultimately, civil rights enforcement.
AcademyHealth board member Atul Grover reflects on the recent Supreme Court decision that colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration in the admissions process, and the implications this has for medical school administrations and the health care workforce overall.
AcademyHealth Senior Scholar Jodyn Platt, AcademyHealth Vice President Elizabeth Cope and colleagues highlight the need for anti-racist expertise in informatics and proposes the use of the Public Health Critical Race Praxis (PHCRP) as a powerful framework to tackle racism in digital forms.
Top health data experts held an exclusive conversation with AcademyHealth's organizational members on the status, challenges, and opportunities for stakeholder engagement with the Biden-Harris Administration’s attempt to make health data more equitable.
Through a range of activities, AcademyHealth seeks to advance data equity, support data learning networks, and expand data access. We are also announcing a new call for proposals from Health Data for Action, a signature research program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
With the end of the federal Public Health Emergency, scrutiny at the border, and exciting news for Dreamers, much is changing for foreign-born U.S. residents
The need for more robust data on immigrant subpopulations and their health leaves many health services research questions unanswered as this population grows.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation awarded four community-engaged research grants to support analyses about the design, implementation, and impact of local, state, or national policies on the affordability of high-quality, equitable care.
