YES—monthly #ChildTaxCredit payments help protect families from global health, climate, and economic crises! Congress must expand the #CTC so families can have stability in the midst of chaos.

Permanently expanding the child tax credit can make generational change. — In a new study, BU public health researchers found an expansion of the Child Tax Credit particularly helped families facing economic shocks, like losing a job. Keep reading ➡️ spr.ly/6018nN0Sq

Our data shows that the expanded #ChildTaxCredit reduced food insufficiency rates by 25%. When the expansion expired, rates went back up by 26%. The numbers don't lie: the expanded #CTC is critical in the fight against hunger. Write a letter to Congress below.

When Congress temporarily expanded the #ChildTaxCredit in 2021, child poverty nearly fell by half. But when that expansion expired, the proportion of children living in poverty x2. 📨 Write a letter to tell Congress to bring back the expanded #CTC 👉 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-c…

Important commentary and call to action for "seismic shift in our approach to improve diversity in health professions", need for "evidence-based interventions that can impact the systemic factors that have perpetuated the status quo" @SandyZabarMD @drmelaniejay
Cristina Gonzalez@CristinaMDNYC

Nice way to start the new year! Being intentional about the health system and clinical learning environment is paramount if we are to achieve #DEI goals. Check out my and @doctora_elaine invited commentary in @JAMANetworkOpen bit.ly/JNO_SystemsInt…

🚚🚐🚗✈️💥📣 New noise paper! 📣 Noise and incident cardiovascular disease risk in the nationwide US Nurses’ Health Study (1988-2018). We found a 4-7% increased CVD risk depending on the noise metric used. IMO higher risk in total US pop with better exposure assessment likely🫀
Environmental Health Perspectives@EHPonline

NEW: Using an exposure model developed by the National Park Service, Roscoe et al. found associations between daytime and nighttime residential noise levels and incident cardiovascular disease in the Nurses Health study ➡️ ow.ly/Q8JX50Qf9oj @HarvardEnvHlth

As the @WhiteHouse emphasized yesterday, #WIC would quickly run out of federal funding if the government shuts down, putting millions of pregnant people, new parents, and very young children who rely on WIC for healthy food at risk of being turned away. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

Thanks so much @OUPPolitics! Really concerning findings about the way that harsh and hostile political rhetoric and policy proposals can scare parents away from getting really important care for their children. @ChildrensHW

The first House Republican stopgap funding measure (CR) failed to fund #WIC at the level needed to provide the current science-based food benefit to all eligible people who seek to participate – and now, as they make further concessions, the cut is only getting deeper.

We know what works & did it. Study after study incl 3 of my own showed it worked. Then we rescinded the advance #CTC Predictable results: child poverty spiked. Wtaf. No professional words for this kind of stupidity. @megansandel described it well: shorturl.at/bdkmZ

New article by @cm_gago citing @ChildrensHW research on WIC. If Republican-backed House Bill 4368 is passed, benefits for >95k people in MA would be affected, removing access to a consistent, healthy diet. Congress must protect this evidence-driven policy. bit.ly/3PFlvGr

Without more funding, we estimate the 600,000 new parents and very young children would be turned away from #WIC. cbpp.org/blog/600000-yo…

As the bill that funds #WIC moves to the Senate floor, these blogs with @Katie_Bergh explain why WIC needs a lot more funding before the final funding level is enacted to continue providing its current science-based food benefit to all eligible people who want to participate.

Next week, the Senate is set to consider #WIC funding. Right now, the money isn't even enough to cover all eligible applicants. Our @zoeneuberger has more on what policymakers can do to ensure ALL eligible applicants receive these crucial nutrition benefits.
Zoe Neuberger@zoeneuberger

The Senate is set to consider next week a bill that funds #WIC. Disappointingly, it doesn’t include enough funding for WIC to keep providing current food benefits to all eligible applicants. More is needed to ensure no one who is eligible is turned away. congress.gov/congressional-…
