The #HealthEquity Research Production Model focuses on research production using a framework of accountability and aims to remediate the compounded effects of privilege through systems and systems change.

BioMed CentralComposing authorship teams for health equity: an introduction to the health equity research production model - International Journal for Equity in HealthPrivilege—special advantages, opportunities or honors granted only to specific persons or groups, such as cisgender men—is one of the primary causes of structural inequality and health inequality. More specifically, privilege feeds structural inequities that result in adverse health outcomes disproportionately impacting minoritized and marginalized communities. As structural inequality increases globally, there will undoubtedly be an increase in health inequity; this has driven a commensurate increase in health equity research. The increased focus on health equity may lead to evidence-based policy changes, potentially leading to changes in health and reductions in inequities in health. However, it is not enough to rectify health inequities. This paper introduces the Health Equity Research Production Model (HERPM), designed to promote equity, fairness, and justice in the production of research. While grounded in the fields of public health and health equity research, the model is broadly applicable across disciplines, particularly for researchers and institutions seeking to adopt more equitable research practices. To date, there is no current model in the literature focused on research production, despite its critical role in shaping evidence and determining who benefits from its dissemination. The goal of the Health Equity Research Production Model is to re-orient the field towards accountability for prioritizing equity in academic research in an existing system structured on inequality by centering minoritized and marginalized academic scholars and researchers including to expand pathway to reflect communities in need of research and creating equity in research production while improving the quality of the health equity research produced. The Health Equity Research Production Model focuses on research production using a framework of accountability and aims to remediate the compounded effects of privilege through systems and systems change. It prioritizes equity in the: (1) engagement with and centering of communities studied in research in all phases, (2) identities represented within research teams, (3) consideration of identities and groups awarded research grants, and (4) consideration of identities and groups considered for research products, such as peer-reviewed publications. This multi-component strategy for health equity and inclusive scientific approach–which directly addresses privilege inherent within the existing research production model—aims to deconstruct existing individual systems. This writing highlights the production of research products, which is evidence used in policy-decision making and directly associated with academic research success—compounding benefits bestowed upon non-minoritized and non-marginalized academic scholars and researchers.

📣Health Equity. Community Building.

💥This week’s Body-Sculpting Group Workout in Malden shows what’s possible when people of all abilities and backgrounds come together. It’s more than fitness—it’s a chance to meet our neighbors, support one another, and have fun while getting stronger.

And let’s be real—the laughter and the smiles? Great for mental health too. 😄💪🏾

1/2 📺 Support public access. Support your neighbors. Support your voice.

➡️ Public access television isn’t just a broadcast—it’s a lifeline for local voices. I’ve seen this firsthand.

🗣️Growing up in Dorchester, I remember BNN TV ( #Boston Neighborhood Network)—a channel that reflected the people and stories around me. Years later, I had the honor of appearing on BNN to promote free fitness events and my book SPARTA SENIORS.

We are pleased to announce Dennis Worsham's appointment as Washington’s new Secretary of Health, effective July 7. Governor Bob Ferguson appointed Worsham, who brings more than 32 years of public health leadership and expertise to the role.

A thoughtful, collaborative leader committed to advancing #HealthEquity across the state, Worsham is a Washington native who grew up in Othello and attended Eastern Washington University. His small-town upbringing instilled values of community connection and collective responsibility that continue to guide his leadership approach

This article made me angry for days when I was copyediting it. But I couldn’t talk about it because it hadn’t been published yet. Now I can. And it’s open-access so you can all read it.

Global health institutions allowed COVID-19 vaccinations to be locked up by patents. Moderna showed they could transfer their manufacturing methodologies to factories in places like South Africa. But those factories were forced to send doses to Europe and North America, while most Africans did not get COVID vaccinations.

There is a different model of medication manufacturing and distribution that is used with AUDS retrovirals for equitable distribution. It could have been used for COVID vaccines. But it wasn’t.And the same thing is now happening with Mpox.

The #budget of the Ctr for #Medicare & #Medicaid Services would be slashed by $674M, but the #Trump budget claims the cuts would have *no impact* on providing #benefits to those enrolled in the #HealthInsurance programs.

Rather, it says, the budget “eliminates funding that had been used to carry out non-statutory, wasteful & woke activities,” in the 1st time a presidential budget has used the word “woke” in describing priorities. The budget also “eliminates #HealthEquity - focused activities.”

hofft darauf, neben der Gesundheitsversorgung auch den eigenen Status zu verbessern. Prävention zur Verhinderung oder zum Hinausschieben von Pflegebedürftigkeit gilt als wichtige Komponente zur Sicherung der Sozialsysteme.

So weit so gut. Der Präventionsansatz folgt allerdings auch immer mehr dem gesellschaftlichen Trend, Vorsorge als individuelle Aufgabe zu betrachten. Das Problem?
