State-level ballot initiatives put forth by both citizens + legislatures hold great potential for improving #populationhealth write @paulalantz and Emma Carter in @Health_Affairs. But since 2016, efforts to derail these initiatives have been increasing. https://t.co/6RYi8LuaSv

Urgent call for rigorous research on post-Dobbs abortion policies | Professor @paulalantz urges comprehensive & objective abortion policy research to understand the impact of landmark policy changes in @JAMANetworkOpen commentary. https://t.co/Q2YQUreN3L #AbortionPolicy #Research

Some good news in SCOTUS opinion:
1. No immunity for unofficial acts; pressuring state officials, fake electors scheme, public statements made as a candidate likely qualify;
2. Immunity for official acts is only presumptive. Conduct must fall within “conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.” Meetings with VP Pence still on the table.
3. POTUS need not be impeached and convicted first.

Exciting Reproductive Healthcare News!

Was out and about today when I saw Opill in Costco. Opill is a first of its kind FDA approved over the counter birth control pill. You don’t need a prescription, and it is 98% effective when used correctly.

Big win for access!

With E. Carter, my view on how state laws banning "divisive concepts" in public higher ed (10 so far) are harmful to evidence-based teaching about social inequality.
This is going to get worse: Many have recently blamed liberal profs/"woke" teaching for current campus protests.

[Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy @fordschool]

In a new @MilbankFund opinion, @paulalantz & Emma Carter (MPP ‘24) review bills prohibiting 'divisive concepts.' They argue these laws risk compromising academic freedom, education quality, and program accreditation, & could stifle discourse & research. https://t.co/lThLQttOpW

The Dobbs decision led to a sharp rise in women deciding that if they’re not allowed to control their fertility, they'll eliminate it. https://t.co/FH8xasml4K

[Milbank Memorial Fund & The Milbank Quarterly @MilbankFund]

In a new Milbank Quarterly Opinion, @jennkarasmontez offers research recommendations to explore the effects of state policies on population health. Suggestions include examining policy bundles and identifying pathways between policies and health: https://t.co/G7VfRNbcX9

The CDC wants to stop telling people to isolate for five days when they are sick with COVID. This is a reckless, anti-public health policy that contravenes science, increases disease spread, and puts everyone at greater risk. 🧵

Excellent study and video on how racism prematurely ages Black people!

Absolutely crazy: Delaware is raising the health insurance premiums of state employees by *27%* next year, and state leaders are admitting here that this single hike will wipe away *seven years* of their salary increases. A gargantuan pay cut. https://t.co/URibMr1saf
