How does hospital strain affect racial disparities in mortality? A novel analysis by @atheendar.bsky.social and @vinisingh.bsky.social found that as beds grew scarce, Black patients faced longer waits, less provider effort and a higher risk of death. bit.ly/4gxhMZ0

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

An overlooked demographic has the highest suicide risk — and it’s been rising

‘Divisive Concepts’ Prohibitions: Implications For Health And Health Equity | Health Affairs Brief
Laws and policies prohibiting the discussion of what the first Trump administration in 2020 labeled “divisive concepts” hamper efforts to discuss, teach, and use the best and most state-of-the-art science to understand and improve US population health and health equity in the context of a growing body of literature on the science of racism and its effects on health.
