📢 NEW POLICY BRIEF 📢 "Ending the use of imprisonment in immigration law is likely to be most effective in mitigating the harmful health consequences of immigration detention." — Caitlin Patler, PhD et al poverty.ucdavis.edu/post/release-d…

If you’re wondering how art can be used in #HPE curricula to explore topics of bias, identity, and hierarchies of power in patient provider interactions, check out our latest Vital Voices episode with Robert Rock and Holly J. Humphrey, MD, MACP. bit.ly/43e1Jq1

New paper in JAMA Internal Medicine on financing interventions for health-related social needs like #foodinsecurity Link: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai… Led by Sanjay Basu of Waymark, with Connor Drake, Caitlin Davis, @FMresearchplcy, Bruce Landon.

‼️ New Paper ‼️ In JAMA Network Open we asked: does 💊💊 copay impact adherence to SGLT2i and GLP1-RA in diabetes and heart failure. Short Answer: YES. Here’s what we found, what it means, and what steps we can take to achieve #Pharmacoequity. jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… 1/🧵

Fighting & bombardments near hospitals in Gaza, as well as reported military raids inside Al Shifa hospital, put the lives of patients, medical staff & other civilians at risk. Health facilities are #NotATarget & must always be protected. reliefweb.int/report/occupie… via UN Humanitarian



The British academic journal The Lancet just published a correspondence that estimated the actual death toll in Gaza could be up to 186,000 human beings. I can’t tell you how critical it is that traditional academic journals are publishing evidence-based pieces like this one.
