A conceptual framework for measuring AI health equity
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in health systems globally and has the potential to improve efficiency, diagnostic accuracy, and decision support. However, its benefits remain unevenly distributed, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Models developed using datasets from specific populations may perform poorly in other settings, reinforcing structural inequities rather than correcting them. O…
A Model for Perinatal Health Equity
Maternal and infant morbidity and mortality in the United States, particularly in Alabama, are unacceptably high and disproportionately affect Black and other marginalized communities. Community health workers (CHWs) are a promising solution to address these disparities by bridging the gap between health care systems and underserved communities. This article describes an ongoing Perinatal CHW Program conducted by ConnectionHealth in Jefferson Cou…
Racial Disparities in Breastfeeding Rates in Patients with Heart Disease
First and Second Stage Risk Factors Associated with Perineal Lacerations
Social Vulnerability May Underlie Racial Disparities in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Outcomes
Black patients with PPCM were more likely to have persistent left ventricular dysfunction and live in areas of greater social vulnerability. Strategies to achieve equitable social determinants of health are needed to improve health outcomes in Black patients with PPCM
Relationship Between Neighborhood Socioeconomic Disadvantage and Severe Maternal Morbidity and Maternal Mortality
Our results suggest that residence within disadvantaged neighborhoods may contribute to SMM/MM even after adjusting for patient-level factors. Measures such as ADI can help identify the most vulnerable populations and provide points to intervene
Reported Neighborhood Traffic and the Odds of Asthma/Asthma-Like Symptoms
Asthma in children poses a significant clinical and public health burden. We examined the association between reported neighborhood traffic (a proxy for traffic-related air pollution) and asthma among 855 multi-racial children aged 4-8 years old who participated in the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) cohort. We hypothesized that high neighborhood traffic density would be associated with the prevalence of asthma. Asthma/as…
