Short Abstract:

This study for the CDC reports findings that the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States. Disparities were especially substantial during January–April and generally decreased during May–December however, this was largely because of a greater increase in incidence among White persons, rather than a decline among racial and ethnic minority groups. The largest and most persistent disparities involved Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaska Native, and Hispanic persons.

Short Abstract:

This resource highlights gender affirming care. Gender affirming care refers to healthcare that affirms a person’s gender identity and allows gender-diverse people to live more authentically. In order to be gender-affirming, providers must create positive and optimistic medical care systems, inclusive clinic environments, and patient support through effective and compassionate social gender transition. Luckily, with the appropriate planning and support, gender-affirming healthcare can be highly successful at all levels of the medical system which this resource provides in detail.

Short Abstract:

The U.S. Attorney General announced the Department’s Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) Initiative. They stated that, “American Indian and Alaska Native people suffer from unacceptable and disproportionately high levels of violence, which can have lasting impacts on families and communities.” Therefore, there has been an initiative to not only raise awareness, but also take heed to tribal issues and concerns. As the journal states, "The best solutions to tribal issues come from tribes, and it is our responsibility to listen." It is their hope that the articles serve as a basis for continuing the conversation and advancing this work forward.
