Engaging communities in public health practice: Lived experience or lived expertise
Use of the term ‘expert’ implies specialized knowledge, which is the case for scientists as well as people immersed in communities. Naming this expertise signals to all parties the essential value of understanding the context in which public health decisions are implemented. We outline arguments for and concerns about viewing lived experience as a complementary expertise akin to scientific expertise
Association of public explanations of why children struggle and support for policy solutions using a national sample
Youths and Violence: Changing the Narrative
Vital Signs: Estimated Proportion of Adult Health Problems Attributable to Adverse Childhood Experiences and Implications for Prevention — 25 States, 2015–2017
INTRODUCTION: Adverse childhood experiences, such as violence victimization, substance misuse in the household, or witnessing intimate partner violence, have been linked to leading causes of adult morbidity and mortality. Therefore, reducing adverse childhood experiences is critical to avoiding multiple negative health and socioeconomic outcomes in adulthood. METHODS: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data were collected from 25 states t…
Adverse childhood experiences and life opportunities: Shifting the narrative
Substantial research shows that early adversity, including child abuse and neglect, is associated with diminished health across the life course and across generations. Less well understood is the relationship between early adversity and adult socioeconomic status, including education, employment, and income. Collectively, these outcomes provide an indication of overall life opportunity. We analyzed data from 10 states and the District of Columbia…

Socioeconomic Status in Health Research: One Size Does Not Fit All
Problems with measuring socioeconomic status (SES)-frequently included in clinical and public health studies as a control variable and less frequently as the variable(s) of main interest-could affect research findings and conclusions, with implications for practice and policy. We critically examine standard SES measurement approaches, illustrating problems with examples from new analyses and the literature. For example, marked racial/ethnic diffe…
Addressing Social Determinants of Health Inequities: Learning From Doing
In its 1988 landmark report and again in 2003 in an updated report,1,2 the Institute of Medicine defined public health as what we as a society do to collectively assure the conditions in which people can be healthy. The literature describing the relationship between conditions needed for health and health outcomes is as old as the public health endeavor itself and continues to grow, now almost exponentially. That certain conditions commonly refer…
Addressing Urban Health in Detroit, New York City, and Seattle Through Community-Based Participatory Research Partnerships
Objective. This study describes key activities integral to the development of 3 community-based participatory research (CBPR) partnerships. Methods. We compared findings from individual case studies conducted at 3 urban research centers (URCs) to identify crosscutting adaptations of a CBPR approach in the first 4 years of the partnerships’ development. Results. Activities critical in partnership development include sharing decisionmaking, definin…
