Alfredo Morabia and Prof. Vickie Mays (UCLA) from AJPH interview Sarah Moreland-Russell, PhD, Associate Professor of Practice, and Caitlin McMurtry, PhD, Assistant Professor, both at Brown School, Washington University, Saint Louis. Why are local public health policies sometimes in conflict with federal policies? In some states public health officers downplayed the threat of COVID-19 and the benefits of the vaccine. In others, receiving reproductive health services requires crossing state lines. We discuss if there are ways to build bridges between state and federal government, whether political polarization impacted the response to COVID-19, and whether public opinion and political processes can impact how public policy addresses inequities.

Alfredo Morabia and Prof. Vickie Mays (UCLA) from AJPH interview Admiral Rachel L Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health, Department of Health and Human Services, and Elana Redfield, J.D., Federal Policy Director at the Williams Institute, UCLA School of Law. HHS is to be applauded for its work in making visible the health, mental health, and data needs of the Transgender population in the US. Some of the foundation for this work has been accomplishments in states. Most of the federal governments targets particularly in public health come from population-based data. How have data about transgenders grown within federal data collection as well at other levels, what actions have been taken to provide evidence for policy development in transgender health? The Williams Institute is known for its data and its use for policy development: What are some of the worries that you have about this population? While there is a lot of progress what are two or three of the things still needing to be lifted up or improved in order to see even better outcomes?

Alfredo Morabia and Prof. Vickie Mays (UCLA) from AJPH interview Anna K. Hing (University of Minnesota), Jennifer L. Pomeranz (New York University), and Marian Moser Jones (Ohio State University) to discuss whether voting rights are a political determinant of health.
Key discussion points include: What have been the political consequences of the US Supreme Court’s 2013 decision in Shelby County v Holder, which invalidated the Voting Rights Act’s preclearance provision? Which communities are most affected by the restriction of the right to vote? What is the mechanism by which voting rights translates into health? How relevant are these results for the present context and the coming 2024 presidential, senatorial, house, and state elections? What can be done to advocate for the reinstatement of preclearance? -

This podcast addresses critical questions such as: How was public health before 1988 and what triggered the writing of the report? How important was the ongoing AIDS pandemic in this process? Is the report a milestone, marking a shift in US public health? Can we compare the failure of the public health response to the Swine Flu threat in 1976 with the success of the response to COVID-19? Do we need a new NAM report on the Future of Public Health? -
This month AJPH Editors Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia interview Julie Ward (Vanderbilt University), Guy Seymour (Psychologist in Public Safety), and Brandon del Pozo (Brown University). Interest in the potential fatal consequences of police encounters has grown in recent years.

Many of these incidents are non-fatal, not even taking into consideration shootings that do not result in injuries.
