Today our #USCNationalFellows took a field trip to Magnolia Place, a community hub near downtown LA that brings together a network of services to support families in the area.

In case everything you have heard about GPT-4 was not scary enough, contemplate what happens if GPT-4 goes trolling through your private health records. @docgurley explores the possibilities: https://t.co/uyjoo16zMF.

[Michelle Levander @mlevander]

It's a well-deserved honor. You should not be surprised at all!

[Laura Garcia @reporter_laura]

Still in disbelief that my @ReportingHealth/@ExpressNews reporting project on health inequities in San Antonio won this state award 🥹

You can write a story on "10 things my community is not doing right on domestic violence," says @JoanneKenen at our Symposium on Domestic Violence. "They are really doing a lot of things wrong. One reason is they are not thinking of it as a health problem."

[Michelle Levander @mlevander]

Maternal mortality statistics do now include domestic violence deaths during or after pregnancy or suicide: "We are just walling off a part of maternal mortality," says @JoanneKenen at our Symposiu on Domestic Violence @ReportingHealth

[Michelle Levander @mlevander]

A terrain of harm – injuries – can tell a story of domestic violence, says @JoanneKenen, at our Symposium on Domestic Violence. https://t.co/EtkkCUafVG @reportinghealth.

"We give a lot of credence to heart attacks or diabetes. (We say), “this is an emergency! We cannot give that same respect to domestic violence even though it is killing our patients." Dr. Anita Ravi at our symposium on domestic violence. @ReportingHealth https://t.co/EtkkCUafVG

@FaridaJhabvala @KQEDnews $600 doesn't go far!

[USC Center for Health Journalism @ReportingHealth]

In California, more than half of families have been touched by domestic violence, according to a 2017 study. Yet it is often treated as a criminal or private matter rather than a public health epidemic. Journalism can play a role in bringing about change and greater awareness.
