@RossWeber18 @tos20141 @jyu1523 @LisaZha15073078 @MClerkship I loved how in your presentation you mentioned how most clinicians have a differential already in mind when they think of a pt with hx of alcohol use (intoxication, withdrawal, cirrhosis etc) and it's very easy to miss other important details in the presentation

We identified stigmatization of alcohol use disorder as a barrier to effective medical care. Steps need to be taken at the medical and structural levels to address these biases. @tos20141 @jyu1523 @LisaZha15073078 @MClerkship

Check out this infographic on weight bias in the healthcare system that my colleagues and I put together @PNussenzweig @sudhavallii @rachelbabij @MClerkship

@PalilloAnthony @NathanielGoldb7 @DanW_2021 @StevenCajamarc8 @MClerkship I've found this to be a common challenge in the hospital. Teaching back and involving more health literate family members help but sometimes patients with low health literacy have other obstacles (ex. language barrier etc) that really make this a challenge!

What is Health Literacy? And why does it matter? Check out this infographic my classmates and I made to find out more! It's time to start checking in on Health Literacy!

Food deserts are a public health crisis engineered by institutionalized racism in America. Check out our infographic summarizing cardiovascular impacts & general strategies to advocate for patients experiencing food insecurity @MClerkship @catheri18173530 @CarrieSha3 @peejwalker

Similarly, this graph looks at factors impacting upwards mobility in the community. Both family and community factors contribute to predicted health status. Policies that intervene in childhood to address health disparities may help increase upward mobility. @MClerkship

Following graph looks at parent factors impacting upwards mobility. Parents whose health is at the 25th percentile were examined (reference line).

This paper follows children, their families, and their communities to examine patterns in health mobility healthaffairs.org/doi/10.1377/hl… #Mclerkship #healthequity #socialdeterminantsofhealth #SDOH #socialjustice #healthdisparities

@NathanielGoldb7 Graphics like this are so important and really highlight how SES and race impact access to testing/chance of testing positive. NYT also reported on this. @MClerkship

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Recent data shows differences in COVID-19 testing within New York City by percentage of white population and socioeconomic status

Areas with lower white population had less access to tests, and areas with lower SES and lower white population were more likely to test positive. @MClerkship #socialdeterminantsofhealth #SDOH #socialjustice #healthdisparities #healthequity

@S__Baksh @ScienceMagazine @MClerkship Many people would assume that predicted health care cost is proportional to metrics of health. It's interesting how this paper highlights the easy-to-miss discrepancies between these variables to highlight racial inequality. #MClerkship #healthequity

Increasingly medical technologies are gaining attention for entrenching racism. In this 2019 @ScienceMagazine paper the authors find that a widely used algorithm to allocate more resources to "sicker" patients discriminates against Black people @MClerkship science.sciencemag.org/content/366/64…
