[Pophealth] Pophealth Digest, Vol 174, Issue 1

[Paul Freeman]

 Good articles well worth reading. I wonder if Stephen and Youssef have dialogued with the authors of Logotherapy who found that those who were more likely to survive Nazi concentration camps were those who had a reason for living-e.g finishing a book, family etc. I have only read about this in passing so objective evidence may not have been established- but it is a field of psychiatry/psychology.RegardsPaul Freeman

  1. Social & economic inequalities impact health in USA
      (Stephen Bezruchka)
 Greetings,
Youssef Azami, a former combined master's student in the  School of Public Health and also School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington studies what knowledge these graduate students had about U.S. health in comparison to other countries.  Not much it turns out.
A comprehensive report on his findings along with many useful links, produced by Kate Stringer at our School of Public Health can be found at https://sph.washington.edu/news-events/sph-blog/how-social-and-economic-inequalities-are-impacting-life-expectancy-in-america
Very few schools in this country, at any level, teach about the poor health status of Americans.  We have work to do.
