Podcasts about disparities

In this episode of the Public Health Joy Podcast, Dr. Joyee sits down with Dr. Okey Enyia — health policy researcher, author, and founder of the John Henry Institute for Black Men's Health and Policy Innovation — for a powerful conversation about what it really takes for Black men to not just survive, but thrive.They start with the legend of John Henry — the "steel-driving man" who beat the machine but lost his life doing it — and unpack what that story still teaches us about chronic stress, structural racism, and the cost of always having to prove yourself. Dr. Enyia shares the real history behind the legend, including the John Henryism hypothesis: the idea that chronic stressors kill, and how that shows up in the data on Black men's life expectancy today.They get into it: do Black men get to have a soft life? Who gives them permission to rest? And what does community care actually look like when we've all been conditioned to equate rest with laziness?Dr. Enyia gets personal too — talking openly about being laid off, navigating depression and identity shifts, and how Jesus and therapy have both been part of his own healing journey. This episode is a masterclass in self-care, soul care, and reclaiming rest as a birthright, not a reward.If you've ever wondered how we build spaces where Black men can just be, without having to earn it, this episode is for you.Key PointsJohn Henry legend and its metaphor for health and stress [01:21 – 11:21]Health disparities among Black men and policy solutions [20:57 – 23:41]The importance of self-care, rest, and community support [19:41 – 29:07]Impact of white supremacy and capitalism on Black health [13:01 – 19:10]If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and leave a review!

A new report by the New Mexico Department of Justice says Native students are disciplined more harshly and miss more school days from suspensions than other students at Gallup-McKinley County Schools. The school district has a majority Navajo student population and was the focus of a 2023 news investigation that prompted calls for further investigations. In South Dakota, education leaders are looking into the state’s licensing exams after research shows a disproportionately low number of Native teacher candidates pass the costly exam. Native teachers are in short supply in the state and Native education advocates say that streamlining licensing requirements could be barrier.

Anthony Auriemma, MD, discusses socioeconomic factors and healthcare system stigma can impact patient access to obesity care.

In this episode, Dr. Chuang discusses some of her research, which has focused on racial disparities in health care delivery. She shares her journey to this topic starting with her childhood experiences as a witness to structural racism and implicit bias. She discusses how bias and structural inequities are reproduced in many ways, all affecting health and healthcare outcomes. Her work includes several focuses including interpersonal bias in healthcare communication with patients with serious illness and their families, bias in public health practices and bias in Artificial Intelligence. The discussion concludes with the ways that biomedical research has contributed to bias in healthcare over time. The discussion also includes some ways that researchers can move forward even in a challenging funding environment.Chuang E, Hope AA, Allyn K, Szalkiewicz E, Gary B, Gong MN.

Disparities in Research

Why do millions of patients qualify for bariatric surgery, yet only a fraction ever make it to the operating room?Hosts·      Matthew Martin, trauma and bariatric surgeon at the University of Southern California/Los Angeles General Medical Center (Los Angeles, California)·      Adrian Dan, bariatric and MIS surgeon, program director for the advanced MIS bariatric and foregut fellowship at Summa Health System (Akron, Ohio)·      Crystal Johnson Mann, bariatric and foregut surgeon at the University of Florida (Gainesville, Florida)·      Katherine Cironi, general surgery resident at the University of Southern California/Los Angeles General Medical Center (Los Angeles, California)Learning objectives:This episode explores disparities in access to bariatric surgery through three key studies examining eligibility, referral patterns, and weight stigma.References: Article #1: Socioeconomic disparities in eligibility and access to bariatric surgery: a national population-based analysis (2010, Martin et al.) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19782647/ Analyzed national U.S. datasets to compare patients eligible for bariatric surgery with those who underwent surgery.  Although more than 22 million Americans met criteria for bariatric surgery, only about 0.4% underwent surgery in 2006. Patients eligible for surgery were more likely to be female, uninsured, lower income, and from racial and ethnic minority groups, while those receiving surgery were disproportionately Caucasian women with private insurance.  This discussion highlights insurance coverage as one of the largest structural barriers to care. Article #2: Investigating racial disparities in bariatric surgery referrals (2019, Johnson-Mann et al.) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30824334/ This study focused on referral patterns within a primary care network.  Among nearly 4,700 eligible patients, only 5% were referred to bariatric surgery.  Referral disparities were seen across sex, ethnicity, and insurance status. Hispanic patients were significantly less likely to be referred and were far more likely to be uninsured or self-pay.  The study emphasizes that disparities begin long before the operating room, often at the level of primary care referral and institutional access policies. Article #3: Assessing Weight Stigma Interventions: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials (2025, Wang et al.) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40227369/ Examined interventions designed to reduce weight stigma. Across 56 randomized controlled trials, most interventions demonstrated improvements in attitudes toward obesity.  Effective approaches included emphasizing the biologic and environmental causes of obesity, promoting weight-inclusive healthcare, fostering empathy through shared narratives, and using cognitive dissonance strategies to challenge implicit bias.  However, changing attitudes does not necessarily translate into improved clinical behavior or patient outcomes. Together, these studies demonstrate that disparities in bariatric surgery occur at multiple stages: eligibility, referral, access, and treatment. Structural barriers, provider bias, insurance limitations, and societal stigma all contribute to inequitable care. Herein, we emphasize the importance of expanding access pathways, improving provider education, and actively reducing weight stigma to ensure equitable surgical care for all eligible patients.Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.  If you liked this episode, check out our recent episodes here: https://behindtheknife.org/listenBehind the Knife Premium: https://behindtheknife.org/premiumOral Board Review: https://behindtheknife.org/oral-boardOral Board Simulator: https://behindtheknife.org/oral-board/simulatorGeneral Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/general-surgery-oral-board-reviewTrauma Surgery Video Atlas: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/trauma-surgery-video-atlasDominate Surgery: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Clerkship: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-clerkshipDominate Surgery for APPs: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Rotation: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-for-apps-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-rotationVascular Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/vascular-surgery-oral-board-reviewColorectal Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/colorectal-surgery-oral-board-reviewSurgical Oncology Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/surgical-oncology-oral-board-reviewCardiothoracic Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/cardiothoracic-surgery-oral-board-reviewDownload our App:Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/behind-the-knife/id1672420049Android/Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btk.app&hl=en_US

In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, host Ber‑Henda Williams sits down with Dr. Caira Boggs, Director of the Michigan Public Health Institute's Center for Health Innovation and Practice and Detroit Health Initiatives. A proud Detroit native and Detroit Public Schools graduate, Dr. Boggs leads 16 initiatives focused on health equity, recovery, food access, chronic disease prevention, and community‑led grantmaking — all grounded in the lived experiences of Detroit neighborhoods. Dr. Boggs shares the early moments that shaped her understanding of inequity, from growing up in a deeply connected Detroit community to witnessing stark disparities when she left home for college. Her path from kinesiology and pre‑med to public health leadership was fueled by a desire to advocate for people who look like her — especially after learning how maternal and infant health outcomes disproportionately impact Black women, regardless of income or education. Together, Ber‑Henda and Dr. Boggs explore:  What resilience looks like in Detroit neighborhoods, where communities “keep going, keep moving, no matter what,” despite redlining, food insecurity, and structural barriers. How Detroit schools and neighborhood roots shaped Dr. Caira's public health lens. Worker health realities in Detroit's plants — from blood pressure to chronic disease risks. What recovery‑friendly workplaces need: Narcan access, dignity, and long‑term support. Food insecurity as both structural and neighbor‑to‑neighbor — and how small acts help.  Neighborhood‑driven solutions like micro‑grants, walking clubs, and anchor organizations. How COVID‑19 exposed inequities and elevated social determinants of health. Dr. Boggs also reflects on the personal experiences that continue to motivate her — from loved ones whose health outcomes could have been different with better access, to the collective trauma and awakening brought on by the pandemic. Her message is clear: every person has the power to change someone's trajectory, whether through advocacy, compassion, or simply knowing the people on your block. This episode is essential listening for anyone working in community health, public health, philanthropy, health equity, or systems‑level change — and for anyone who believes in the strength and brilliance of Detroit's neighborhoods.

What began as a local tragedy in Southampton has quickly become a national flashpoint. Questions about policing and trust in UK institutions are dominating the debate, as party leaders compete to shape the public response, but are politicians missing the point that this is about police treatment of suspects? With the Makerfield by-election looming, the case risks sharpening divides. Host Lucy Fisher is joined by the FT's Stephen Bush, Miranda Green and Chris Smyth to discuss the political fallout, plus the latest in Andy Burnham's campaign. The panel also consider what Sir Keir Starmer is looking to cross off his bucket list as his allies suggest it increasingly appears a fait accompli that he will be forced out of Downing Street.

Early symptoms are often misattributed and standardized assessment tools go unused, leading to delayed detection and treatment. This ultimately contributes to substantial patient burden and is worsened by inequities in access to care, particularly among high-risk and underserved populations. Although VMAT2 inhibitors are recommended as first-line treatments, clinicians need practical guidance on individualized selection and use in complex cases. This series addresses these challenges by emphasizing standardized screening, improved diagnostic differentiation, more equitable care pathways, and evidence-based, patient-centered treatment strategies.*Please stay tuned for additional content to this activity available for credit.

Diabetes doesn't just affect blood sugar—it can quietly and progressively steal vision. In this episode of The Aging Well Podcast, Dr. Jeff Armstrong is joined by Dr. Matthew Cunningham, a retina specialist, to unpack diabetic macular edema (DME), one of the most common and underdiagnosed causes of vision loss among adults with diabetes.We explore how DME develops, why it often goes unnoticed until damage is already done, and what patients—and practitioners—can do to intervene earlier. The conversation also addresses a critical and often overlooked issue: the disproportionate burden of diabetic eye disease in the Black community and other underserved populations.Using the “All Eyes on DME” campaign as a springboard, this episode bridges clinical insight with real-world application—equipping listeners with the knowledge to protect their vision, advocate for better care, and age well with clarity and purpose.Learn more at https://www.alleyesondme.com/Please, support The Aging Well Podcast by hitting the ‘like' button, subscribing/following the podcast, sharing with a friend, and….Tip Jar!

Asthma affects over 26 million people in the U.S., yet outcomes can vary dramatically based on factors beyond disease severity. This episode explores the critical gap between diagnosis and optimal asthma control, focusing on how socioeconomic status, access to care, and environmental exposures shape patient outcomes. Through a mock case study, we examine disparities in healthcare access, allergist availability, and treatment adherence, alongside key topics such as epidemiology, risk stratification, environmental trigger identification, diagnostic testing and interpretation, and guideline-based management. The discussion highlights the role of allergic sensitization in asthma pathophysiology and emphasizes the importance of comprehensive specific IgE testing in identifying root causes. Clinicians will gain actionable strategies to improve diagnosis, implement cost-effective interventions, and optimize asthma management directly within primary care settings.

In 2025, U.S. digital health startups raised $14.2 billion. AI-enabled companies captured 54% of it. Every prediction in every roundup carries one quiet assumption underneath it. The patient on the receiving end can use what's being built. The Pew data from January says something different. Two trajectories. One looks like progress in aggregate. The other looks like the patients with the worst health outcomes being structurally locked out of the system that's being built. Chris Boyer and Reed Smith examine what happens when digital strategy and health equity stop being parallel tracks and become the same problem. Why the 2026 AI investment narrative quietly assumes a digitally capable patient, and what the population data actually shows The smartphone-dependent patient most health systems haven't internalized, and why portal UX fails them by design Why disparities in patient portal access are widening for low-income, less-educated and 65-plus populations, even as overall use rises What the 2025 cancellation of federal digital equity funding means for health systems whose patient panels actually need the work done Modality mix as the reframe: digital, phone, in-person and printed channels as a portfolio allocated by segment, not a hierarchy everyone migrates toward The University of Michigan study published in JAMA Network Open in October is the one to anchor on. Researchers looked at 511 hospitals in 51 counties in 17 states where census data showed at least 300,000 LEP residents. 29% of those hospitals offered the patient portal login in English only. 60% offered English plus Spanish. 11% offered three or more languages. In counties specifically chosen because they have hundreds of thousands of patients who don't speak English at home.

Construction crews at the University of California, Berkeley immediately halted construction of an outdoor volleyball court when they encountered human remains. Under California law, notifications go out to state officials and to any tribes that might be descendants. Such procedures are not always followed, even when the law is clear cut. A number of recent discoveries of remains in California and elsewhere have drawn criticism from graves protections advocates and others for how they were handled. We'll look at some recent cases and assess the current state of the public's understanding of sacred ancestors' remains.

In this rewind episode, we explore the concept of weathering — the cumulative, biological toll that chronic stress from living in an unjust society can have on people from marginalized communities. This framework helps explain why health disparities persist, and why they often deepen over time. Our guest is Dr. Arline Geronimus, a member of the National Academy of Medicine and a professor at the University of Michigan's School of Public Health and Institute for Social Research. She is also affiliated with the Center for Research on Ethnicity, Culture and Health, and is the author of Weathering: The Extraordinary Stress of Ordinary Life in an Unjust Society. Dr. Geronimus joins us to unpack the science behind weathering, the lived realities it reflects, and what it means for public health, policy, and equity.

On the April 15, 2026, broadcast of The Charlie James Show, the first hour centered on the frustrations of Tax Day and the systemic flaws within the U.S. tax code. The program opened with a critique of the federal system's complexity before shifting to South Carolina, where Representative Bruce Bannister argued that the state's new tax code would ensure citizens pay no more than necessary. The discussion then highlighted a sharp divide in tax responsibility, noting that while 40% of Americans pay no federal income tax, the top 1% of earners shoulder 38.4% of the total burden. The hour concluded with a segment featuring WORD callers discussing local tax concerns and a controversial decision in Fairfax County, VA, to no longer recognize Veterans Day.

In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, host Desiree Clemons talks with Maria Haugen, Founder and CEO of FoXX Health. After experiencing months of dismissed symptoms, delayed testing, and uncertainty, Maria created FoXX—a daily health companion designed to help women track symptoms, prepare for appointments, and advocate for better care. Her story reflects a reality many women face in healthcare, and FoXX was built to ensure no woman has to wait months to be heard. Maria shares how her personal health scare became the catalyst for a tool that turns lived experience into clarity, confidence, and actionable data. She explains the gaps she encountered—missed warning signs, lack of preparation tools, and the emotional toll of not being believed—and how those moments shaped the core features of FoXX from day one. Desiree and Maria explore FoXX Health's approach and discuss the broader landscape of women's health, including: How daily symptom tracking helps women communicate more effectively with clinicians The importance of clinical credibility, privacy, and safety in digital health tools Why women's health is often treated as “niche,” and how that leads to worse outcomes What developments give Maria hope for progress in women's health equity Lessons from fundraising and the challenges of building consumer‑focused health technology Maria also reflects on earning third place at Movement Is Life's 2025 PowerHER Pitch Competition—a recognition of her vision, momentum, and commitment to improving women's health experiences.

In this highly emotive episode of Women & Wellbeing, actor, producer and breast cancer campaigner Victoria Ekanoye is joined by her mum, Candy, for a deeply moving conversation about resilience, family and using personal experience to create change. As both breast cancer survivors, Victoria and Candy share their experience of navigating diagnosis, treatment and the steady steps towards recovery whilst for bolstering each other with strength and support. Together, they reflect on how their shared experience opened up important conversations around women's health, vulnerability and the power of the mother–daughter relationship during life's most difficult moments. The conversation also explores the wider disparities that exist in cancer care for Black women around the world. Victoria and Candy speak candidly about why awareness, early detection and representation matter — and why challenging silence and stigma around cancer remains an essential part of their advocacy. Victoria is currently fronting the award winning documentary Shades of Survival, which shines a light on how breast cancer is experienced and treated across different countries and cultures. Through the project, she is helping to amplify global conversations around equity in healthcare and access to life-saving support. Alongside their work with Prevent Breast Cancer, the pair are also lobbying the UK government for greater awareness and policy change — ensuring that women's voices, experiences and outcomes are better represented in cancer care. Later in the conversation we discuss Victoria's gradual return to on-screen work following treatment, including her role in the Paramount Plus smash hit 'Girl Taken', and how creativity, purpose and storytelling have been part of her healing journey alongside being a mother to her young son Theo. Together, we discuss: – Surviving breast cancer as mother and daughter – The power of family support during illness – Disparities in cancer care for Black women globally – Cultural perceptions and stigma around cancer – Advocacy, awareness and policy change – Opening up intergenerational conversations around women's health – Returning to creativity and career after illness This episode is a story of survival, love and determination — and a reminder that personal stories have the power to shift awareness, challenge systems and inspire change.

Ethereum underperformed this cycle, and investors are asking the big question: did ETH just skip a cycle, or is something deeper going on? Michael Nadeau joins Ryan to break down where Ethereum sits in the market cycle today, why several of his key indicators suggest ETH is entering a fair value zone, and whether the true macro bottom could still lie ahead. They also unpack why ETH struggled despite improving fundamentals. Mike explains how Ethereum's L2 roadmap may have improved the network while weakening short-term value capture for the asset itself, and what signals he's watching (MVRV, supply in profit, the 200-week moving average) as he looks for the next expansion phase.

In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, host Dr. Mary O'Connor talks with Angela Strain, Executive Director of We Care Jax. For over 30 years, this organization has connected uninsured and under-resourced neighbors to lifesaving specialty care.   Angela shares powerful patient stories and draws on years of experience to show what it takes to remove barriers, build trust, and create a safety net that truly helps people. She explains real-world obstacles like transportation, language barriers, and the financial burden of illness, and highlights community-driven solutions that help people get the care they need.   Angela and Dr. O'Connor discuss We Care Jax's approach and share stories from the patients they serve, exploring topics such as: Community health workers use persistence, trust, and cultural insight to uncover the real reasons behind missed appointments or labels like “non‑compliant.” Common specialty needs include cardiology, pulmonology, oncology, and advanced imaging, supported by a network of volunteer physicians. Transportation support, hotel stays, translation services, and food access function as essential parts of healthcare, not optional add‑ons. Florida's expansion of the Volunteer Provider Program and the urgent need for increased dental funding are highlighted as key policy issues. Peer‑to‑peer physician recruitment, strong hospital partnerships, and donor investment help sustain a model rooted in community trust. Angela also talks about the heart of her work: making sure every patient leaves with no medical debt, their dignity intact, and a real chance to heal. Her stories, including patients moving from homelessness to stable housing and from fear to treatment, show why compassionate, community-centered care is so important.   This episode is full of stories and insights for anyone working in health equity, community health, philanthropy, public health, or systems change.   Subscribe to hear more conversations about community-driven solutions, health equity, and efforts to eliminate disparities.

What does it take to rise after life tells you “you can't”? In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, we sit down with Grace Moore—Financial Empowerment Specialist, Founder, Speaker, and 2025 Movement Is Life Health Summit Speaker—whose journey is a powerful testament to resilience, faith, and the transformative force of mindset. At just 17, Grace was told she would never walk again. After waking from a nap with her left leg paralyzed, she faced a defining crossroads: accept limitation or choose possibility. She chose movement—of the body, the mind, and the spirit. Today, Grace speaks from the lens of the patient, sharing what it looks like to keep moving forward while living with daily pain. Her message is simple but profound: we can choose to be “up and able” rather than “down and defeated.” Grace also brings her expertise in financial wellness to the conversation, highlighting how financial empowerment—especially for seniors—directly connects to health equity, stability, and community well‑being. She breaks down the barriers people face, the myths that hold them back, and the power of language to either uplift or limit our lives. In this episode, Grace opens up about: • Her journey from paralysis to purpose • How mindset can shift the trajectory of your life • Why financial empowerment is a health equity issue • The importance of speaking life into yourself and others • Her upcoming journal, Graceful Movement, and how it helps readers embrace pain with compassion and courage Grace's story is a reminder that movement isn't just physical—it's emotional, mental, and deeply personal.

Send us a Positive Review!Series title: Mormon Faith Crisis—Progression, Not Pathology [Part II of III]In today's episode Valerie and guest researcher Jeff Strong explore why people in the same LDS congregation can experience church so differently, depending on where they are in their faith journey. They introduce Jeff's model of six faith mindsets—seekers, cultivators, protectors, avoiders, connectors, and explorers—each representing valid and meaningful ways of engaging faith. The problem? That many of these healthy and normal ways of engaging with one's faith journey are pathologized within the LDS culture at both local and general levels. Valerie and Jeff hope that research like Jeff's and platforms like Latter Day Struggles will place growth where it actually belongs--as normal, natural, and precisely what each of us are here on this earth to do. Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction and Welcome00:22 – Series Overview and Jeff's Background01:18 – Exploring Church Demographics and Tensions02:45 – Review of Previous Episode04:00 – Cultural Causes of Tension05:30 – The Weight of Disaffiliation07:00 – Research Methodology and Data Collection07:58 – Strengths of LDS Culture09:45 – Personal Reflections on Community11:35 – Weaknesses of LDS Culture13:20 – The Soil Metaphor for Culture15:00 – The River Metaphor: Rigidity vs. Chaos17:10 – The Impact of Cultural Rigidity18:45 – The Struggle for Belonging20:09 – Stages of Faith Development22:00 – Simplicity and Complexity Explained23:45 – Perplexity and Harmony Explained25:30 – Faith Journeys and Community Reactions27:00 – The Pain of Being Misunderstood28:22 – Personal Faith Journeys29:47 – The Garden of Eden Metaphor30:47 – Pathologizing Growth in Faith32:00 – The Need for Community Support33:09 – Community and Belonging33:52 – Brian McLaren's Model in Scriptures35:30 – The Arc of Human Spiritual Growth37:25 – Understanding Different Faith Mindsets39:00 – Disparities in Perceptions of Christ-Centeredness40:30 – The Loneliness of Nonconformity42:04 – Introducing the Six Segments44:00 – Descriptions of Each Segment46:00 – The Dynamic Nature of Faith Mindsets47:00 – Encouragement for Self-Reflection48:24 – Conclusion and Next StepsSupport the showSupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Access $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website

Mental health is an important part of our overall health, but many people confront barriers that keep them from accessing the mental health care they need. A program in Boston aims to  address mental health disparities by disrupting traditional health care models. The Boston Emergency Services Team, or BEST, is led by Dr. David Henderson, chief of psychiatry at Boston Medical Center.  BEST brings together mental health providers, community resources, law enforcement, and the judicial system to deliver care to people in need of mental health services. Henderson says bringing mental health providers alongside police responding to calls for service for mental health needs has helped reduce the number of people with mental illness ending up in jails and prisons. “The criminal justice system has, by default, become one of the largest mental health systems … around the country as well,” Henderson says. “People with mental illness are in jails and prisons, at a percentage that they really should not be.” In a conversation that first published in 2024, Henderson speaks with Movement Is Life's Hadiya Green about what it takes to ensure people in need of mental health services get the help they need, why it's important to train providers to recognize unconscious biases, and what it means to provide trauma-informed and culturally sensitive care.
