Unveiling the Path to Health Equity: A Transformative Guide to Law and Policy
Achieving Health Equity: The Role of Law and Policy offers a groundbreaking exploration of how legal and policy frameworks shape health outcomes for marginalized populations, with a particular focus on racial minorities in the United States. This comprehensive guide dissects the complex interplay of factors determining health: 20% healthcare, 30% health behaviors, 40% social and economic factors, and 10% physical environment.
Amid the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and a national reckoning on racism, this timely work provides an urgent call to action and a practical roadmap for transformative change. It examines how laws and policies across sectors intersect to perpetuate or dismantle health inequities, offering concrete strategies for reform.
Key features include:
An ecosystem approach exploring four critical domains: healthcare access and quality, health behaviors, social and economic factors, and physical environment
Analysis of emerging issues such as addressing the impact of climate change on health disparities, strategies for mitigating algorithmic bias in healthcare AI, and promoting equity in organ transplantation and clinical trials
Examination of cross-cutting themes like community engagement, civil rights protections, and data disaggregation to guide targeted interventions
Case studies and policy tools for dismantling structural drivers of health inequity
Written in accessible language without sacrificing depth, this book illuminates complex concepts through relatable examples. It serves as an invaluable resource for a diverse audience including health system administrators implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, public health officials and policymakers, legal professionals and advocates, researchers and students in health-related fields, community organizers and racial justice activists.
Achieving Health Equity provides a comprehensive blueprint for leveraging law and policy to build a more just, equitable, and healthy future for all.
