These resources are available in both English and French. Power imbalance is a root cause of health inequity - those who benefit from and perpetuate the inequitable status quo have power, while communities who live in marginalized conditions lack power. To advance health equity, public health practitioners must be able to recognize and analyze power imbalances and deploy strategies to build community power and limit the power of those who benefit from inequity. Take a look at these resources to discover how power influences equity, and how public health can take action to redistribute power through its research, programs, resources, and services. Let's Talk: Redistributing power to advance health equity * Start here to build a foundational understanding of power and health equity. This installment of the Let?s Talk Series guides recognition and analysis of power imbalance in public health. It also gives examples of how to deploy strategies to both build community power and limit the power of those who benefit from inequity. * This resource also contains illustrations to depict the concepts of power, visible power, and hidden power.

Message-ID: Please read and distribute this! Provides real insights into how progressive ideas are distorted by commercial interests, easily manipulated governing authorities, dominant societal discourses, and compliant mainstream media. Free download until Mid-May at https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1gpxqhNfKzQb~ A B S T R A C T For over 80 years the Finnish state has provided expectant mothers with a cardboard box containing an extensive collection of clothing, bathing products for the baby, nappies, bedding and a small mattress. Numerous jurisdictions have implemented it in some form. We investigated through a critical case study methodology whether its translation into the liberal welfare states of Canada, UK, and USA experienced message distortion (the box as a means of preventing SIDS), commercialization, watering down of content; and separation from the complex of Finnish welfare state policies that support families with children. We find that only Scotland and Wales recognized the decommodification and equity roles played by the baby box. This study identified numerous barriers to building progressive public policy in Canada, UK, and USA: the structures and processes of the liberal welfare state, commercial interests that skew public policymaking and media logic that limits news reporting to the concrete and simple, eschewing complex analysis.
