Health Affairs Publishes Theme Issue on Racism and Health

This month, Health Affairs published a theme issue on racism and health, with an emphasis on structural racism. The special issue features articles describing the complex relationships between racism and health, as well as new evidence, analysis, and narratives on this topic. All of the included articles are salient to the collective work of SIREN stakeholders.

February Research Round-Up

In this month’s Research Round-Up, we categorize articles using the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s “Five As Framework”, which defined roles that health care organizations can play in integrating social care. As always, articles in the round-up (and more!) can be found in the SIREN Evidence and Resource Library.
