- Chronic diseases are increasingly responsible for the burden of health outcomes across the world. However, there is also increasing recognition that patterns of chronic disease outcomes (e.g., mortality, quality of life, etc.) have inequities across race, gender, and socioeconomic groups that cannot be solely attributed to these determinants. There is a need for an organizing framework which…September 2022Social/Structural Determinants, Systemic Determinants
- Full-time, permanent employment that offers benefits and protection has been considered the standard work arrangement, but certain jobs are moving away from this standard.

These aspects of work represent employment quality (…September 2022Social/Structural Determinants

- There is a large literature on work-related characteristics and hypertension, but studies on self-employment, longer working hours, and hypertension are mixed. Assessments of self-employment should be extended to account for people with part-time self-employment (i.e., employees also earning income from self-employment). The aim of this study was to determine the association of different types of…September 2022Hypertension
- Practitioners describe how collaboration among state agencies and local organizations help address longstanding inequities. State agency staff members and leaders of nonprofit social service organizations report multiple advantages to using a cross-sector approach to address health inequities—preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or opportunities to achieve optimal…August 2022Community-rooted/Participatory Research
- Structural racism causes stark health inequities and operates at every level of society, including the academic and governmental entities that support health research and practice.
