The environmental, social and behavioural determinants of urban health make multisectoral action key. Our research uses multisectoral collaboration to address health issues in urban health systems: https://lnkd.in/e64Cn4mH

Comprised of one in five US residents, rural America is no monolith—each community faces unique health challenges and priorities that vary greatly from urban health issues and reflect distinct differences in cultural, social, economic, and geographic characteristics. SPH's Timothy Callaghan is tackling these issues as an editor and contributing author of Rural Healthy People 2030, an edited book volume that is published once per decade to examine the most pressing health concerns of residents in rural communities. “We believe that our findings will be useful to policy leaders in identifying health policy areas in particular need of policymaking and funding support. We think they will also be useful to health experts in tracking how rural health priorities have evolved over time, and help them to identify areas in need of further research.” Learn more ➡️ http://spr.ly/6045TkHGT

EuroHealthNet's Foresight 2023-2024 study "The future of Public Health in Europe" analyzes the role of public health until 2035, identifying several important challenges such as: persistent inequalities, (unhealthy) living conditions, increases in chronic diseases and poor health mental health, the digital transition, as well as demographic and climate change.

New research by The School of Health, at Leeds Beckett University (ARCHES report) produced by Locality and funded by the 'Mobilising community assets to tackle health inequalities programme', showcases the importance of the role of community anchor groups is addressing health inequalities through strengthening access to arts and environment. "ARCHES report finds failure to include community organisations in health system design is stifling progress in tackling health inequalities" Find out more about the Research - https://lnkd.in/en9ZkZP2 Part of the 'Mobilising community assets to tackle health inequalities' programme funded by UK Research and Innovation, and Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and supported by the NCCH.

Presenting my work today on climate change, disasters, access to health care, and health equity, at the National Institutes of Heath, Health Disparities Research Institute

Ill health reduces political participation and shifts political support towards populist and radical ideas. Yesterday’s plenary at European Health Forum Gastein explored the interlinkages of democracy and health in shaping our European societies. Looking forward to this afternoon’s session on democracy and the demographic transition. #EHFG2024 #YFG2024

🚨 A new blog series from the UHC Policy Core explores important topics in urban policy that have implications for health and health equity. “Hot Topics in Urban Policy and Health” kicks off with a (literal) hot topic: extreme heat and worker protections. https://lnkd.in/eM9bHUV3

Want to learn more about indigenous health in the US and beyond?🌎 We’re highlighting some courses in our department like these ones with Claradina Soto, PhD, associate professor of clinical population and public health sciences, and a longtime advocate for the American Indian and Alaska Native communities. 🍎Have you taken one of Professor Soto’s classes?

Climate-related disparities impact the health of some of the most vulnerable among us. In a recent Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researchers found that unprecedented heat waves can affect all people, but some are more sensitive to the effects of heat, including children and adults with underlying health conditions, pregnant women, and outdoor workers. The Alliance for Community Engagement – Climate and Health (ACE-CH) promotes sustainable change in communities facing health disparities due to climate stressors like heat waves. The Mountain West ACE-CH Hub works with rural and urban focal communities in Colorado to understand how communities are experiencing climate stressors, such as heat waves, and identify opportunities to advance climate justice.
