Tillfälligt slut
Children are the foundation of the United States, and supporting them is a key component of building a successful future. However, millions of children face health inequities that compromise their development, well-being, and long-term outcomes, despite substantial scientific evidence about how those adversities contribute to poor health. Advancements in neurobiological and socio-behavioral science show that critical biological systems develop in the prenatal through early childhood periods, and neurobiological development is extremely responsive to environmental influences during these stages. Consequently, social, economic, cultural, and environmental factors significantly affect a child's health ecosystem and ability to thrive throughout adulthood.Vibrant and Healthy Kids: Aligning Science, Practice, and Policy to Advance Health Equity builds upon and updates research from Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity (2017) and From Neurons to Neighborhoods: The Science of Early Childhood Development (2000). This report provides a brief overview of stressors that affect childhood development and health, a framework for applying current brain and development science to the real world, a roadmap for implementing tailored interventions, and recommendations about improving systems to better align with our understanding of the significant impact of health equity.

Racial and ethnic inequities in health and health care impact individual well-being, contribute to millions of premature deaths, and cost the United States hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Addressing these inequities is vital to improving the health of the nation's most disadvantaged communities—and will also help to achieve optimal health for all. In 2003, the Institute of Medicine examined these inequities in Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care.Because disparities persist, the National Academies convened an expert committee with support from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the National Institutes of Health. The committee's report reviews the major drivers of health care disparities, provides insight into successful and unsuccessful interventions, identifies gaps in the evidence base, and makes recommendations to advance health equity.

The COVID-19 pandemic is the most profound public health crisis of our lifetime. It has disrupted society and made it clear that our health is determined by a web of interdependent factors influenced by health care, public health, government agencies, businesses, and community-based organizations. Primary care teams were on the front lines from the very beginning and showed up in countless ways, never closing. The unique role of primary care teams during COVID-19 are discussed in this text as well as the impact of the pandemic on these individuals who have dedicated their lives to providing valuable care to their communities.As the pandemic aftermath lingers on, primary care has been forever changed. Many experts predict that primary care is on the brink of collapse. What can be done to save it? Further, what can be done to strengthen primary care’s vital role in our nation’s health care system, so that it is ready to keep our communities healthy during the next pandemic? In this book, front line primary care teams and health care leaders share personal experiences and advice grounded in reflections on a generation-defining pandemic.This text is organized in four main parts. The first part focuses on voices from the front lines. The second part discusses the primary care medical home. The third part spotlights primary care team management. The final section centers on policy implications.Written by experts in the field, Primary Care in a Public Health Emergency, is a valuable resource for primary care teams, community leaders, educators, researchers, and policymakers. While there is voluminous literature about health system transformation, this volume is focused on reviving primary care and building back resiliency after a global crisis.
