#GYNhealth #womenshealthhistory #womenshistorymonth The #womenshealthmovement has origins in multiple movements within the United States: the popular health movement of the 1830s and 1840s, the struggle for women/midwives to practice medicine or enter medical schools in the late 1800s and early 1900s, black women's clubs that worked to improve access to healthcare, and various social movements in the 1960s. Today, let's talk about the “Popular Health Movement” of the 1830s and 1840s. It appears to be a result of the anti-elitist worldview promoted by President Andrew Jackson during his tenure. This "Jacksonian democracy" appears to have influenced the Popular Health Movement’s promotion of “a rational skepticism toward claims of medical expertise [which]… encouraged ordinary people to understand the pragmatics of health care.” “During the time of small groups of women began advocating to take an active role in and prevent disease and stay healthy rather than rely entirely on formally trained physicians for treatment.” The Popular Health Movement is said to coincide with a return to the colonial era domination of women as health practitioners.

Last week we had our last Under the Hood Event of 2023: Shedding Light on Health Equity with 3 esteemed panelists Dr. Bayo C. Ann Marie coore and Dr. Emily Cunnings. We got under the hood and our host Amy D. Paul asked these important questions: 🔦 What is health equity to you? 🔦 As an internal medicine physician, what is the biggest challenge we face in achieving health equity? 🔦 When it comes to the younger generations receiving the proper health care and health equity, what is happening these days? 🔦 You recently posted on Linkedin that access to care is often highlighted as the cause of the alarming rate of death in Black mothers during childbirth or shortly after. How is this critical issue more than just about access? 🔦 You're spending more of your time now in what you call a safety net hospital. What is that exactly? What do you think needs to happen to create more health equity within the medically complex population? 🔦 Your work has extended internationally to 23 different countries. Is there a common denominator that you see in terms of a lack of health equity in the different countries, or is each situation quite different based on the local culture, laws, government, schools, etc.? And we had a hearty conversation at the end connecting women from 5 countries. #underthehood #healthequity #safetynethospitals

New study in #HSR from Liza M. Creel PhD, MPH et al assess describe network structure and alignment across organizations in healthcare, public health, and social services sectors that serve pregnant and parenting women with substance use disorder (SUD) in an urban and a rural community. WHAT IS KNOWN Pregnant and parenting women in recovery and their family members often face barriers to care and need services and supports from multiple sectors. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS There are differences in network structure and cross-sector alignment in rural and urban networks, suggesting different needs to build system capacity at a local level. CONCLUSION Cross-sector alignment may strengthen local capacity for comprehensive SUD care for pregnant and parenting women. Healthcare organizations are key players in cross-sector partnerships in the rural community, where one healthcare facility holds the central brokerage role. In contrast, public health agencies are key to cross-sector collaboration with social services in the urban community.

The NHS Race & Health Observatory (RHO) are an independent expert body, established by the NHS, to examine the health inequalities experienced by Black and minority ethnic communities in England (RHO, 2023). We were commissioned by RHO to conduct a review of existing literature in the health and social care environment and provide RHO with examples (in the form of case studies) of good practices and effective interventions to reduce ethnic and racial health inequalities. Our two-phase research created a comprehensive framework and data extraction template to analyse key findings. Key themes included a lack of trust in the system, cultural competency issues among health professionals, and reliance on health indicators that don't account for ethnic diversity. These case studies provide valuable insights and policy recommendations to improve healthcare for diverse ethnic groups within the NHS.

A new medical study paints a grim picture: racial and ethnic minorities are 20-30% more likely to be misdiagnosed compared to white patients. This translates to a shocking disparity: nearly one in four hospital patients who experience harm or death due to misdiagnosis belong to a minority group. The study calls misdiagnosis a major public health concern, affecting millions of adults annually in the U.S. Published in JAMA Internal Medicine and BMJ Quality & Safety, the research highlights the urgent need for language and cultural inclusivity in healthcare. Factors like communication barriers and unconscious bias can significantly impact diagnosis accuracy, particularly for patients of color. This National Minority Health Month, we invite you to read our latest blog and learn more about how the complex factors contributing to these disparities can be addressed. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gF37ReJM #healthcare #healthdisparities #misdiagnosis #NMHM #nationalminorityhealthmonth #languagelinesolutions
