For the Poor, Stress Brings Worse Health

MONDAY, Jan. 8, 2018 (HealthDay News) — In a finding that will surprise few, new research shows that minorities and the poor suffer more stress than their wealthy, white peers.

Housing as a Health Issue

Envision a society that fully connects the usually disparate worlds of health and housing. Clinicians would implement strategies that feature “housing as a vaccine” to prevent illness and disability.

Race Could Matter in Outcomes for Preemies

(Reuters Health) – Among the tiniest preemies, black and Hispanic infants are more likely than white babies to be born at hospitals with worse death and complication rates, a study in New York City suggests. In the study of 7,177 very preterm infants born at 39 hospitals citywide, 28 percent of the babies died or […]

A successful New Zealand initiative which encourages those working with the mentally ill to also consider their patient’s physical well-being has been exported overseas. Equally Well is a group of people and organisations with a common goal of reducing physical health disparities between people who experience mental health and addiction problems, and people who don’t.

Experts: Social Media Contacts Could Hold Key to Stopping Disease Spread

Facebook accounts and telephone records can be used to pinpoint the best individuals to vaccinate to stop a disease outbreak in its tracks, researchers said Wednesday. Such people would be “central” in their social networks, and thus likelier to spread disease-causing germs from one group to another. Assuming there is an outbreak, and not enough […]

Snopes: Hurricane Maria and the IV Bag Shortage in U.S.

On 28 December 2017, a tweet from a man in California focused attention on one of less-reported aftereffects of the damage caused by the massive Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico on 20 September 2017.

Obamacare Faces Challenges in 2018

It’s a New Year — but not a happy one for ObamaCare’s defenders. Two recent developments could lead to the collapse of the health law’s exchanges. First, the Trump administration will soon announce that it will allow insurers to sell “short-term” health plans that last up to 364 days. Currently, insurers can only sell these […]

Did Racism Kill Erica Garner?

After 43-year-old Eric Garner was killed by an illegal NYPD chokehold on Staten Island in 2014, his daughter Erica cried out for police reform in America. Her dad’s alleged offense—selling loose, untaxed cigarettes—fit into a pattern of law enforcement preying on communities of color for minor offenses, and Erica, like thousands of others, demanded accountability […]

Banned Words

The Washington Post recently reported that, in an unprecedented and dangerous move, the Trump-Pence administration has banned the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from using seven key words and phrases: “evidence-based,” “science-based,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” and “diversity.” As a health care provider committed to fighting health disparities and caring for everyone who […]

LOS ANGELES — When Elias Zaldivar was an 18-year-old college freshman and decided he was in the market for marijuana, he knew just how to get it, and it didn’t involve canvassing the corridors of his campus in search of that stoned-out dude who sold pot from his dorm room.
