Public Health Practice
Worth reading: A weaponized census, legitimate science, and blame-the-mother stories
A few of the recent pieces I recommend reading:
- Vann R. Newkirk II at The Atlantic: The Weaponized Census
- Gretchen Goldman at Scientific American: Scott Pruitt Will Restrict the EPA’s Use of Legitimate Science
- Washington Post editorial board: Black man down — again
- Rebecca Moss in the Santa Fe New Mexican/ProPublic: Trump’s Labor Department Eviscerates Workplace Safety Panels
- Shefali Luthra at Kaiser Health News: Medicaid Is Rural America’s Financial Midwife
- Monica McLemore at Center for Health Journalism: What blame-the-mother stories get wrong about birth outcomes among black moms
- German Lopez at Vox: How America’s prisons are fueling the opioid epidemic
- Seems Jalam at CNN: Why is the US rolling back this high-return global investment?
New format, right? I really like the, call it, reading list approach (reminds me of the days of blog-carnivals).
Thank you.
