Join me as I moderate a discussion with Drs. Angela Hagaman East Tennessee State University, Craig Henderson, Sam Houston State University, Bettina Hoeppner Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard Medical School, and Sierra Castedo de Martell, Chestnut Health Systems regarding important questions about the PRSS/RCC workforce and the role they play within their recovery ecosystems. Such questions include: (1) the specific activities PRSS engage in and in which settings they conduct them, (2) how benefit from services is best operationalized and measured, and (3) the economic valuation of these services.

This piece goes into more detail about the topic I mentioned in my last post on how social workers can do better in helping people with eating disorders and recognizing the harms of intentional weight loss and dieting. This is a great article. Discusses Health at Every Size and how social workers can work to reduce fatphobia and size discrimination. Great description of the history of the BMI scale as well, and how it was never supposed to be used to judge an individual person's health.

Your insights and responses are needed by July 1st!! Your perspective is invaluable whether you are from the scientific research community, clinical practice communities, patient and family advocates, scientific or professional organizations, federal partners, HHS and NIH staff, or other interested constituents. Please share your thoughts on key challenges, opportunities, and needs in global health research. This effort will culminate in a public workshop and published report of the process, findings, and results. It is the goal that this priority setting process be data-driven, standardized, and transparent, and will assemble a wide range of perspectives and stakeholders interested in helping to address research gaps and forge new partnerships between Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) and High-income Countries (HICs) to advance our global research activities in neurological health.

Picture this - a pivotal clinical trial is underway. The design is meticulous, the team is diligent, but the results are skewed. Why? The unseen enemy - unconscious prejudice - has infiltrated every decision made, from study design to data interpretation. Do you see the glitch? This bias is sidelining under-served groups, tinkering with outcomes, and we're often none the wiser. Don't let your work fall prey to this. Join COUCH Health's webinar this Thursday at 2pm BST / 9am EST. They will venture through the shadowy caves of implicit bias in clinical trials, armed with knowledge and determination. Ready to illuminate the unseen and reshape the clinical research landscape? Sign up now and let’s champion a fairer industry together. https://lnkd.in/egK24WrF Lights, camera, action against bias! #ImplicitBias #ClinicalTrials #DemandDiversity

Imagine a world where everyone, regardless of their background or status, can access reliable health information. In the past years, misinformation has loomed large, threatening public health and shaping perceptions of science and government. Have you ever wondered how we can fight back against this tide of misinformation, especially when it comes to matters as important as health? Through his Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded project, David Scales, an assistant professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine and Chief Medical Officer at Critica, Inc is exploring and developing a new protective knowledge model for addressing misinformation. Check out his interview published in our "What’s Next Health: 5 Questions For…" series to learn more about his project aimed at creating a safe information environment for health and why it is important to invest in public health infrastructure to better support communities in understanding health information. https://lnkd.in/eNQNadbD #Misinformation #HealthEquity #PublicHealth
