There is a need for health professionals to identify social determinants of health (SDOH) and understand the role they play in patients' health. In fall 2019, authors taught health care studies students about SDOH using a modified privilege walk to show how privilege as SDOH can impact health. This novel approach to teach about privilege and SDOH is even more relevant in today's COVID-19 world. It is our hope that those with more privilege will (…
Examining Racial Differences in Access to Primary Care for People Living with Lupus
Our data show that middle-aged minorities living with lupus and on public health insurance have a higher likelihood of poor access to primary care.

Rationale, Design and Methods of “Set the Rules”
Ensuring equitable access to health information is one strategy to promote health equity for underserved communities, especially for low-income African Americans (AAs). Childcare centers are one viable site to deliver health information to address this disparity. This paper describes the methods used in a community-based participatory research project with a childcare facility that aimed to reduce environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure among …

Linking Socio-Economic Status, Adverse Health Outcome, and Environmental Pollution Information to Develop a Set of Environmental Justice Indicators with Three Case Study Applications
Environmental justice (EJ) indicators, including a number of parameters ranging from pollutant concentrations to socio-economic status, were compiled for three case study locations that have a documented history of EJ issues. Instead of consolidating the 14 EJ indicators into a single metric, they are displayed separately to facilitate comparisons at four different spatial scales to allow characterization of local, city, county, and state environ…
