Summary: Cold-Related Deaths in the US (1999–2022) 1. Overview and Trends • Cold-related deaths more than doubled over the study period. • 40,079 deaths recorded; age-adjusted mortality rate (AAMR) rose from 0.44 (1999) to 0.92 (2022) per 100,000 population (109% increase). • A significant upward trend began in 2017, with an annual percentage change (APC) of 12.1%. 2. Demographic Insights • Age: Mortality was highest among individuals aged ≥75 years (4.23/100,000 in 2022). • Largest Increase: Adults aged 45–74 years experienced the steepest rise (APC: 4.8%). • Gender: Males consistently exhibited higher mortality than females, although both increased significantly. • Race/Ethnicity: • Highest Rates: American Indian/Alaska Native populations (6.26/100,000). • Fastest Growth: Hispanic populations (APC: 4.1%). 3. Regional Patterns • Midwest: Highest mortality (1.41/100,000) and steepest increase (APC: 4.3%). • Northeast: Recorded the smallest increase. 4. Public Health Implications • Rising Deaths Despite Global Warming: Likely driven by extreme winter events, homelessness, and social isolation. • At-Risk Populations: Older adults and marginalized communities face the greatest risk. • Recommendations: • Expand access to warming centers. • Enhance community awareness of cold-related risks. • Support research into climate change impacts on health.   Conclusion: The sharp increase in cold-related mortality rates highlights the growing importance of climate-adaptive health strategies and targeted interventions for vulnerable populations.

The United States has the highest rate of maternal deaths among high-income nations and women of color, are disproportionately affected. For Black women in this country, the rate jumps from 22 deaths with every 100,000 births to 50 deaths for every 100,000 births. When it comes to postpartum depression, these same women are several times more likely to suffer, but less likely to receive treatment. To understand these disparities and discuss ways to combat them, we are joined by three experts. Shaleah Dardar, MD, and Brigitte McClellan, PsyD, specialize in child and adolescent psychiatry at Children's Hospital Colorado and are both assistant professors at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Whitney Dunlap is a lactation consultant and health educator. Some highlights from this episode include:  Barriers and biases that put Black mothers and their babies at a disadvantage  How primary care providers can create a safe space for parents to be vulnerable  The overlap of adult care and newborn care during post-partum   For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Today, Hunter is joined by Rob Perkins and Dan Eichinger to discuss Public Defense in Alleghany County, Pennsylvania. If you've listened to the show long enough, then you know that Pennsylvania was one of the last states to provide any funding for Public Defense. While the $7.5 million allocated to support Public Defense is welcome, it is insufficient to account for the decades of underfunding/understaffing in places like Alleghany County. Yet, Dan and Rob believe that with the help of new county leadership, they can finally meet the demands of Gideon in Alleghany County.   Guests: Rob Perkins, Executive Director, Alleghany Lawyer's Initiative for Justice Daniel Eichinger, Program Administrator, Wayne County Indigent Defense Services Resources: Allegheny Lawyers Initiative for Justice https://www.ali4j.org/   Alleghany Public Defender Report https://www.ali4j.org/research-report-a-path-forward ACLU Report https://www.aclupa.org/en/job-left-undone-allegheny-countys-fork-road 2018 Coverage of Public Defense https://whyy.org/articles/decades-after-landmark-lawsuit-caseload-concerns-continue-in-allegheny-countys-public-defender-office/ Email Rob rob@robperkinslaw.com During the Episode Dan, mentioned Racial Disparity in Alleghany County. Here is an additional note from him: RAND_RTI_Final_Report.pdf (pitt.edu)   Additionally, I mentioned that half of all charges filed against Black people arise from a police initiated encounter. My phrasing could have been more precise as the paper refers to charges arising out of "Black neighborhoods" (as opposed to Black people) and I didn't mention the numbers in terms of the disparity between White neighborhoods, so I wanted to make sure your listeners had the exact language from the report:   (Pg. 47 of the report, pg. 91 of the document):    "In particular, charges that are filed in Black neighborhoods are almost equally likely to initiate from either a call for service or a low-priority law enforcement action (30% versus 27%). However, in the White matched neighborhoods, charges are more than twice as likely to originate from a call for service than from a low-priority law enforcement action (38% versus 17%)."    Additionally, the percentage of charges growing out of a police-initiated interaction is likely higher because, as the authors note (pg. 46):    "Thirty-two percent of the cases could not be matched to the 911 call data. As noted in the previous section, these are likely to be instances where law enforcement officers initiated an action but did not call it in. These unmatched cases are thus classified as unidentified law enforcement–initiated actions."     Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN Trying to find a specific part of an episode?

In the 2nd youth led forum of the year, we will focus on how racial inequities in education are deeply entrenched in the American school system, affecting not just individual students but the broader landscape of educational achievement and opportunity.rnrnResearch shows that schools with higher concentrations of students from marginalized racial and ethnic groups are more likely to experience underfunding, overcrowded classrooms, and limited access to advanced coursework and resources. This systemic inequality can contribute to lower graduation rates and diminished college and career readiness across the board, impacting the ability of schools to produce well-rounded, critical-thinking scholars.rnrnAccording to a report by the U.S. Department of Education, schools serving predominantly minority students receive roughly $23 billion less in funding each year than those serving predominantly white students. These disparities not only hinder the academic potential of individual students but also compromise the overall quality of education in America, limiting the nation's ability to cultivate diverse, informed, and capable leaders for the future.rnrnThis forum will dive into the root causes of these inequities, their impact on students of all backgrounds, and what can be done to create a more equitable and inclusive educational system.

When we talk about C-sections, it's often prefaced with “unplanned” or “emergency.” About a third of all the deliveries in the U.S. are cesarean sections, and only about 16% of those are planned. And that leaves a lot of mothers in a position where they're delivering differently than they planned or intended to. And in the U.S., a disproportionate number of those are being performed on black women. So how are we going to get to the root of what's going on? Today on ParentData, we're joined by Molly Schnell, whose paper “Drivers of Racial Differences in C-Sections” explores this phenomenon. Molly is an assistant professor of economics at Northwestern University and her paper found that black mothers with unscheduled deliveries are 25% more likely to deliver by C-section than white mothers. And she argues that implicit racial bias among providers or possibly even a financial incentive in hospitals to fill their operating rooms may play a role in this racial gap.Subscribe to ParentData.org for free access to new articles every week on data-driven pregnancy and parenting.ParentData is generously supported by Honeycomb.

Gerianne DiPiano is joined by Dr. Shawana Moore, a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner and FemmePharma Medical Advisory Council Member. They discuss the issue of disparities in care that women of color encounter during pregnancy. Studies show that structural racism is at the core of the lack of care and attention that diverse groups of women encounter for maternal health. Dr. Moore shares her own personal experience as well as professional understanding of implicit bias. How did this come to be and how can we take action to remedy it as a society? Dr. Moore is an Associate Professor at Emory University DNP Program Director of Nursing.

Today's guests bring a unique blend of expertise and personal connection to the show. Lee Ann Butler and Alex Butler are not only esteemed faculty at Rice Business, but also a married couple! Lee Ann Butler, a senior lecturer in management, has been teaching business law and related courses since 2001, joining Rice in 2010.

Because that's something that you're preparing this generation of leaders to tackle. 30:41: [Lee Ann Butler]: Well, I think the ethical challenges come every day, and probably the most difficult bit is when we just don't realize it's an ethical dilemma that's in front of us, right? And we tend to think of ourselves—everyone thinks of themselves as an ethical person: I don't need to worry about this because I'm a good person, and I will do the right thing. But when we take the time to actually systematically go through it in a logical way, I think not only what does my ethical framework tell me is right and wrong in the situation, but how might others view it? 'Cause not everyone—not everyone has the same framework as me or anyone else.Surprising lessons learned from being educators at Rice13:38 [Alex Butler] Several years ago, we ran an experimental course where faculty from four different functional areas got together, all of whom were going to teach their discipline, but along the theme of decision-making. And so we had someone from one group who's going to think about decision-making in teams, one-person decision-making, as students as far as how personal-psychological biases affect your decisions. One person doing game theory and I doing decision-making with data, so I learned a few things in that, one of which was. What a great place to work where someone can have this bonkers idea of let's come at decision-making from four different ways, all of us with our own strange perspectives, and deliver that as a course to the students and have the administration be like, yeah, man, let's do that. That sounds awesome.What makes Rice special from an educator's perspective08:35: It comes down to A: the students, right? That is my interaction. Most of the time, they are phenomenal. They are here to learn, and they have that kind of hunger that's amazing. I really enjoy teaching in the MBA program because they come with so much work experience, and I learn something every single class that I teach. Hopefully, they learn a lot from me, but I am absolutely learning a lot from them each time, too. But we also have wonderful support and administration here, which is not always the case at every school. But we have the whole package, which is just a joy to work here.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profiles:Lee Ann E.

Send us a textWelcome to the True Talk Café Podcast S3 Ep. 9 - Show Me The Money!Show agenda:Is your company embracing pay transparency? And how confident are you when it comes to negotiating your salary?  Pay transparency is on the rise, and in some areas, it's even required by law. Surprised? In today's episode, 'Show Me the Money,' we dive into what pay transparency really means, how it benefits both employees and employers, and we'll share some smart strategies to help employees negotiate the best compensation package.Questions What steps should employers take when transitioning from a non-transparent to a transparent salary model? What are the pros and cons of salary transparency within an organization?  How can employers maintain fairness and equity in pay while managing salary transparency? How can employers create a more transparent culture around pay without causing friction between employees?How can employees advocate for fair compensation without being perceived as overly aggressive? How do you approach a salary raise conversation if you know your peers are making more than you?What are some common mistakes people make when negotiating their salary, and how can they avoid them? How should you handle salary negotiations when transitioning from one job or industry to another?Statistics:1. Negotiation Success Rates70% of people who negotiate their salary successfully receive higher pay as a result. However, only 37% of employees actually negotiate their initial salary offer.2. Gender Pay Gap and NegotiationOn average, women earn 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. Part of this gap can be attributed to differences in negotiation behaviors, with studies showing that men are more likely to negotiate their salary than women.Men are 4x more likely to negotiate their first salary than women.3. Generational DifferencesMillennials and Gen Z workers are increasingly negotiating their salaries. Around 46% of millennials report negotiating their salary after receiving an offer, compared to 39% of Gen Xers and 33% of Baby Boomers.4. Racial Disparities in Salary NegotiationResearch shows that Black and Hispanic employees are less likely to negotiate compared to their white counterparts. Black employees are about 20% less likely to negotiate than white employees.5. Impact on Career EarningsFailing to negotiate an initial salary can result in a loss of up to $1 million over a 40-year career. This loss is compounded with missed raises and bonuses tied to that starting salary.6. Employer ExpectationsAbout 80% of employers are open to salary negotiations. However, many candidates are unaware of this, and only 31% of people consistently negotiate their pay.7. Pay TransparencyCompanies with transparent pay structures often experience less turnover. 56% of employees say they would switch jobs if they found another company with a higher level of salary transparency.8. Impact of Not NegotiatingNot negotiating a job offer could mean starting with a 10-20% lower salary than if you had negotiated, with compounding effects on future raises, bonuses, and retirement savings.9. Confidence GapConfidence plays a key role in salary negotiation success. About 57% of employees who negotiated their salary felt confident doing so, compared to 42% who didn't negotiate because they lacked confidence.

Date of lecture: Tuesday 23 April 2024 About the lecture: Police use of Taser, a ‘less lethal' conducted energy device that delivers an electric shock intended to temporarily incapacitate targets, in England and Wales is marked by significant ethnic and racial disparities. In this lecture, Prof Bradford will present findings from TASERD (The Taser And Social, Ethnic and Racial Disparities research programme), a major research project that explored the potential causes of these disparities. Prof Bradford's research team analysed routine police data from fifteen forces from across England and Wales, and carried out more than 150 interviews with serving police officers, police scrutiny groups and members of the public. They also reviewed body worn camera footage and observed Taser training. Findings suggest that the drivers of ethnic disproportionality in police use of Taser are complex and nuanced. Disproportionality results not solely, or even primarily, from individual officer's decisions, but stems also from institutional practices and priorities and, ultimately, the inequality and structural racism. About the speaker: Ben Bradford is Professor of Global City Policing at University College London and Director of the Centre for Global City Policing within the Department of Security and Crime Science. His research interests include public trust, police legitimacy, cooperation and compliance in justice settings, questions of social identity, and ethnic and other disparities in policing.

Monica emphasizes the value of long-term patient-physician relationships in primary care, the necessity of interrupting physician biases, and the importance of systemic changes to facilitate more comprehensive patient interactions. Deji highlights the need for community-based outreach and clinical trial participation to address health disparities, particularly in Black communities. Both underscore the importance of innovative communication strategies to build trust and educate communities about diseases affecting them disproportionately. Their conversation envisions a brighter future with more effective and inclusive healthcare practices.

Drs. Vela and Adegunsoye delve into the racial disparities in the diagnosis and progression of pulmonary fibrosis, particularly within the black population. They discuss the role of environmental and occupational exposures, and the impact of cultural and autoimmune factors on the disease's prevalence in black communities. Dr. Adegunsoye emphasizes that black individuals are at a higher risk for autoimmune disorders, which can lead to pulmonary fibrosis. Moreover, he highlights the flaws in lung function tests that use race adjustments, often masking the real health conditions in black patients. The discussion also addresses the critical issue of delayed diagnosis, which adversely affects the prognosis of pulmonary fibrosis. Both presenters stress the importance of early screening, equitable access to care, and policy changes to improve outcomes for marginalized populations. They conclude by noting the need for action plans to address these disparities, pointing out that black individuals often get diagnosed and die from pulmonary fibrosis at an earlier age compared to other racial groups.

Opioid overdoses—mainly fentanyl—killed more than 4,000 Minnesotans from 2019 through 2023. And there have been dramatic racial disparities that have only grown as death rates show signs of maybe leveling off. This is especially true for Native Americans, who in those five years were 15 times more likely to suffer a fatal overdose than white people. Minnesotans who did not go to college were also more likely to die from opioids. Antony Stately is a clinical psychologist and the President and Executive Officer of the Native American Community Clinic. Dr. Dziwe Ntaba is an emergency medicine physician and an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School.These two health care providers are working to prevent more deaths from opioid overdose. They joined MPR News Host Cathy Wurzer to talk about what's behind the numbers—and what they leave out.

Music festivals serve as diverse communities where people from various backgrounds come together to enjoy music.  Both guests share personal examples of how music can be a universal language that can transcend race, and connect individuals on a deeper level. They both say that music, as a cultural expression, can bridge gaps and create shared experiences among people from different cultural backgrounds.  Ashel told us a compelling story about using culture to connect and address conflicts. He described a musical event organized by a Jewish friend pre-October 7, to be held post-October 7, which was to include Hebrew songs. “My friend expressed anger and frustration about the situation in Israel and Palestine. Instead of dismissing his feelings, our community created a safe space for open dialogue and understanding. By incorporating Hebrew songs alongside Palestinian prayers at an event, we demonstrated how cultural elements can be used to facilitate conversations, build bridges, and promote reconciliation.”  Kaati mentioned her involvement in the birthing community, with different cultural practices and beliefs. “The birthing process serves as a space where cultural traditions and values are honored, showcasing how cultural diversity can be celebrated and respected in various aspects of life.” This episode of “Everyday Conversations on Race,” highlights how culture serves as a common ground for people to connect, share experiences, and foster empathy and understanding. By embracing cultural differences and engaging in meaningful conversations, individuals can use culture as a powerful tool to bridge divides and promote unity among diverse communities.
