Literary representation of the Indian Adivasi woman’s challenges
Jacinta Kerketta is one of the most renowned Adivasi poets in Eastern India. The literary research on Adivasi communities has centred on their oral narratives, which are integral to their culture and often compiled by colonisers or outsiders.

Mapping the spatiality of the Indian Indigenous woman
This article aims to contribute to the larger discussion of the women of the Indian Indigenous communities in the gender discourse with a focus on the Santal (one of the largest Indigenous communities in India).

It analyzes the figuration of an Indigenous woman as a nomadic subject in Indian society w…
Mental Health Outcomes of Immigrant- and US-Born Caregivers
Objectives. To compare the mental health outcomes of US-born with immigrant caregivers of adult care recipients. Methods.

We characterized (1) caregivers and noncaregivers, and (2) US-born versus immigrant caregivers. Then, we estimated and compared (…
Institutions and the politics of agency in Covid-19 response
The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 was one of the rare events that shocked almost every world government simultaneously, thus creating an unusual opportunity to understand how political institutions shape policy decisions. There have been many analyses of what governments did. We focus instead on what they could do, focusing on the institutional politics of agency – how institutions empower rather than how they constrain, and how they affect public po…
Learning about Covid-19
Policy makers can enhance willingness to participate in public health efforts such as contact tracing during infectious disease outbreaks by helping the public appreciate the seriousness of the public health threat and communicating trustworthy information through accessible channels
Exploring How Personal, Social, and Institutional Characteristics Contribute to Geriatric Medicine Subspecialty Decisions

METHOD: The authors conducted 23 in-depth, semistructured interviews with internal medicine residents, with and without an interest in geriatrics, and geriatrics fellows across 3 academic medical centers in…
Social policy as an integral component of pandemic response
It is easy but mistaken to think that public health emergency measures and social policy can be separated. This paper compares the experiences of Brazil, Germany, India and the United States during their 2020 responses to the COVID-19 pandemic to show that social policies such as unemployment insurance, flat payments and short-time work are crucial to the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions as well as to their political sustainabili…

Understanding racial differences in attitudes about public health efforts during Covid-19 using an explanatory mixed methods design
Patient-Reported Experiences of Discrimination in the US Health Care System
Importance: Although considerable evidence exists on the association between negative health outcomes and daily experiences of discrimination, less is known about such experiences in the health care system at the national level. It is critically necessary to measure and address discrimination in the health care system to mitigate harm to patients and as part of the larger ongoing project of responding to health inequities. Objectives: To (1) iden…
