@HealthInTheUS It is extremely commendable that Naomi Osaka was open about her mental health struggles, and was able to recognize a break was needed. So much stigma surrounds mental health & discourages individuals from speaking up and asking for help. Mental health is not embarrassing.

@HealthInTheUS This article is very informational! I don't think many individuals are aware that people in low SES neighborhoods struggle with chronic health conditions and more because they do not have the resources or access to healthy foods and lack transportation.

@JulieSt36172146 I thought that this article was a great read! I think it would be greatly beneficial for the overall health of the general population if there was more representation in nursing. More representation could mean more patients seeking care because they are represented in the system.

@nicole_hingos I think that throughout the pandemic, the discrimination and injustice that people of color and minorities face were highlighted. This allowed everyone, including the system, to recognize where the issues persist and advocate for change.

@nicole_hingos I think that it's awesome that this hospital is actively trying to increase its cultural competence and awareness among its staff. The U.S. demographics have been constantly changing, and it's so important that the workforce demographics closely model the community they serve.

@nicole_hingos This is incredibly interesting because it sheds light on a very important topic. Most professions are dominated by males, and in STEM women are significantly underrepresented as well as undermined. So many female scientists have worked tirelessly in the fight against covid-19.

@JulieSt36172146 A huge issue within the health care system is its lack of diversity. There needs to be a major shift within the system in order to elicit the change necessary to provide adequate care to racial and ethnic minorities. Non-minorities are not the only ones who deserve care.

@JulieSt36172146 There has been so much research that has proved that black women suffer disproportionately more than white women when it comes to maternal death. They are 3 times more likely to die during pregnancy. The health care system is continuously failing these women time and time again.

@Shultzy523 This is a very interesting article that poses the question of why there has been such a major decline in individuals managing their Type 2 diabetes. I am curious if this is connected to lack of resources such as healthy food options, green space, etc. in lower socioeconomic areas

[Victoria Franchetti @vtorfranchetti]

@Shultzy523 A heartbreaking article. As a nation, we have been experiencing a mental health crisis for years. As a result of the pandemic, depression rates have skyrocketed. As discussed in this article, these girls are as young as 12. This is a very real issue that must be addressed.

The silence has been broken. The construction industry has enhanced its focus on mental health, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practitioners are here to help.

Pentagon enforced its view on diversity training. What do you think?

The first patient has been treated in a Phase II cancer vaccine trial by BioNTech. This is huge!

Cardiovascular health in young adults is rarely an area of focus for researchers. Study found it may be feasible to reduce the possibility of heart attacks and strokes even in individuals who start out with poor heart health.

The music industry has been under scrutiny for quite some time. People of color and women are significantly underrepresented in the power structure of this industry.

Advocacy for diversity and inclusion has been increasing with the current events of the past year. Do you think that companies need to better portray their message?

The national mental health crisis has been steadily increasing, and youth are feeling more isolated than ever during COVID-19.

People who belong to marginalized groups — whether based on race, gender, or sexual identity — have increased risks of several worse health outcomes. Research on the gut microbiome could result in specialized treatments.

Research has proven patients generally fare better when care was provided by more diverse teams; an increase in diversity in the medical field is crucial. #BBH302 #AFAM302 #BBHAFAM302
