We apply this framework for Asian, Black or African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and White groups and reflect on, compare, and contrast the overarching patterns within and across groups. This work underscores the heterogeneity of structural racism across domains, historical time, and ethnoracial groups, highlighting the necessity of expanding conceptualizations of structural ra

Stories from the Field: The Impact of Federal Funding Cuts on Population Health Researchers - In collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science, The Milbank Quarterly invited population health researchers to submit stories of how they have personally been impacted by the Trump administration’s cuts to federal funding for health research. Today we share several stories from early-career and experienced researchers alike on how they are coping with research funding cuts and fighting for the future of evidence-based policy and researchers in training.
Reflecting on power: the inadequacies of small sample size technique through the lens of indigenous health - In this commentary we describe three distinct, yet related, issues underlying the relationships between statistical power (B) and structural and ideational power related to the “small sample size” problem for Indigenous peoples: (i) inadequate data procurement and management processes, (ii) normative methodological practices, and (iii) insufficient scientific communication.
