1/ Health plans and systems are increasingly addressing patients’ social needs (like food 🍎, housing 🏡, and transportation 🚌). However, they often face regulatory hurdles when implementing social care programs. We break these barriers down in our latest @NEJM piece 🧵⬇️

An honor to contribute to the inaugural issue of the @TheLancet Primary Care 🩺! We propose necessary reform across the continuum of undergraduate medical education 🧑‍🎓🏫 to help address the growing primary care workforce crisis.

Tailored efforts to address social needs (e.g., 🏘️ insecurity) are needed given recent ⬇️ in policy support. In @AnnalsofIM, we offer a "precision social care delivery" framework to help deliver the right intervention to the right patient at the right time

Policy proposals specific to DHHS:

➡️ Disrupting data collection and research efforts
➡️Removal of protections for LGBTQ+ health
➡️Restricting access to lifesaving gender-affirming care

More critical than ever for our health sector to safeguard these populations.

Within 1⃣ week, the Trump Administration is already taking aim at LGBTQ+ populations - declaring only "2 genders" and removing all 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ content from government sites.

In @JAMAInternalMed we detail other likely consequences for LGBTQ+ health + policy 👇:

Check out our latest study in @JAMAPsych led by 🌟@LiuMichaelON! We showed that a Supreme Court decision that banned sexual orientation-based employment discrimination was associated with improved mental health among employed sexual minority adults.

[Michael Liu-Hass, MD, MPhil @LiuMichaelMD]

1/🚨New in @JAMAPsych, we find that the 2020 #SCOTUS decision in Bostock v Clayton County - extending employment discrimination protections to sexual minority adults - was associated with significant ⬇️ in mental health burden among this population.

🧵1/9 📢 Excited to share our latest study out in @JAMA_current! We explored how well US hospitals are providing information about sexual and gender minority (SGM) services and policies on their websites.

8/9 Future research is needed to study whether the scarcity of 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ info on websites is due to a real lack of services or efforts to protect hospital staff from threats and harassment amid political hostility toward SGM communities @DrScottHadland

@JAMA_current @harvardmed @FenwayHealth @MGHPsychiatry @rhodes_trust @sahil_sandhu20 @BWHPsyResidency @BrighamResearch @JAMANetwork @statnews Of concern, 🏥 located in states with "negative" SGM policy environments - where SGM patients already face ⬆️ barriers to care - were far less likely to provide information about SGM resources + services.

Incredible work as always led by 🌟 @sahil_sandhu20!
