Policy is a determinant of health.
A commitment to #evidencebasedpolicy is a commitment to individual & public health.
🙏🏽 @RWJF for funding essential research in this space. #healthequity #healthpolicy https://t.co/uxI8yIzZ5P

🙏🏽 @DrJulieMorita and @DonaldFSchwarz1 of @RWJF for clearly articulating gender-affirming care as a fundamental health care issue.

[CenterforHOPES @CenterforHOPES]

"Treatment for trans kids is a health issue. Gender-affirming care and social support are integral pieces of health care, and denying kids access to this care is as misguided as denying them antibiotics for an infection or stitches for a wound."

Evidence consistently shows that #communityhealthworkers (CHWs) bring tremendous value to their communities & to health care systems. But they work in low-pay, high-uncertainty environments. https://t.co/yQBxOwYBye

"Census undercount of minorities could worsen health disparities" https://t.co/gegPc4rWWw

Not just "could": evidence clearly shows it will. Undercounting - & the consequences for funding, resources, power, & representation - is a form of policy violence.

[Crane Center for Early Childhood Research & Policy @CraneCenterOSU]

How can policy responses to the pandemic limit the consequences on health and development in young children? This piece in the @ConversationUS emphasizes the importance of listening to children to develop effective policy.
