Electoral governance as a political determinant of health
Background: Electoral governance is a critical political determinant of health, yet the institutional mechanisms shaping population risk remain understudied. During the 2020 U.S. general election, local officials were responsible for administering voting amid COVID 19 threats and within uneven state electoral structures. Understanding how these political institutions influence officials' perceptions of voter safety and related actions is essentia…
Development and Integration of Community Advisory Boards to Inform Research on the Impact of Structural Racism on Racial/Ethnic Disparities in End‐Stage Kidney Disease
INTRODUCTION: Community Advisory Boards (CABs) represent a critical methodological approach to center research on the experiences of patients and families and minimise power inequities between 'researcher' and 'subject'. This approach can be especially important to inform work related to structural racism and racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare. Herein, we report the value and challenges of integrating CABs into ongoing research on struct…
Collaborative governance challenges in energy efficiency and conservation
Religion and Policy Preferences in Context
How COVID-19 economic aid should be distributed continues to be an important societal question, with relevance to current and future public health policy. We argue that religious identities condition the influence of broader political context on COVID-19 policy preferences, serving as social conduits through which political attitudes are transmitted. We analyze original U.S. survey data (N = 989), to examine support for inclusive (i.e., including…
Beyond Plants
Global food systems are a central issue for personal and planetary health in the Anthropocene. One aspect of major concern is the dramatic global spread of ultra-processed convenience foods in the last 75 years, which is linked with the rising human burden of disease and growing sustainability and environmental health challenges. However, there are also calls to radically transform global food systems, from animal to plant-derived protein sources…
Economic Elites and Support for Housing Affordability Policy
Racial/ethnic and prior willingness disparities in potential living kidney donors’ self-assessed responses to advancing American kidney health regulation
Regulation stemming from the AAKH initiative is likely to effectively promote LDKT, but may also exacerbate racial/ethnic disparities. Therefore, the regulation may need to be supplemented by efforts to address non-financial obstacles to LDKT in racial/ethnic minority communities in order to ensure equitable increases in LDKT rates and living donor support
Religion at the Frontline
Frontline officials (such as mayors and commissioners) are responsible for local-level responses to the COVID-19 pandemic across the United States. Their actions and attitudes, either in support of or opposition to public health recommendations, have resulted in widespread variation in local-level pandemic response. Despite evidence that religion significantly impacts the general public’s response to the pandemic, the influence of religion on off…

Making (and Framing) the Connection Between Housing Affordability and Health
Building the case for housing policy
Contextualizing the issue of housing affordability within various domains in ways that effectively resonate with the American public and policymakers and across political and income spectra, is highly imperative
The medicalization of obesity, bariatric surgery, and population health
This article examines how the medicalization of obesity validates the use of bariatric surgery to treat obesity in the United States and how expansions in access to bariatric surgery normalize surgical procedures as disease treatment and prevention tools. Building on this discussion, the article poses two questions for population health regarding health technology: (1) to what extent does bariatric surgery treat obesity in the United States while…
Increasing public support for food-industry related, obesity prevention policies
Weighing In
Objectives. We sought expert opinion on the problems with 2 dominant obesity-prevention discourse frames—personal responsibility and the environment—and examined alternative frames for understanding and addressing obesity. Methods. We conducted 60-minute, semistructured interviews with 15 US-based obesity experts. We manually coded and entered interview transcripts into software, generating themes and subthematic areas that captured the debate’s …
The Quality of Diabetes Management Among Mexican Adults in California
BACKGROUND: Although there is increasing knowledge regarding the association between generational status on diabetes risk, less is known about the effects of generational status on diabetes management among Mexicans. OBJECTIVES: We test whether generational status is associated with variations in diabetes processes of care among Mexican adults to optimize disease management. RESEARCH DESIGN: Weighted multivariate logistic regression was used to t…
Race/Ethnicity and the Relationship Between Homeownership and Health
Objectives. We investigated whether race/ethnicity moderates the association between homeownership and health and whether this association is the same for racial/ethnic minorities as for non-Latino Whites. Methods. With data on US-born Latinos, African Americans, and non-Latino Whites from the 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2009 California Health Interview Survey, we used weighted multivariate regression techniques in fully adjusted models, controlling fo…
