new Federal Policy initiatives to boost health literacy can help the nation move beyond the cycle of costly crisis care
Health Affairs, 2012Co-Authors: Donald M Berwick, Carolyn M Clancy, Cynthia Baur, Cindy Brach, Linda M Harris, Eileen G ZerhusenAbstract:Health literacy is the capacity to understand basic health information and make appropriate health decisions. Tens of millions of Americans have limited health literacy—a fact that poses major challenges for the delivery of high-quality care. Despite its importance, health literacy has until recently been relegated to the sidelines of health care improvement efforts aimed at increasing access, improving quality, and better managing costs. Recent Federal Policy initiatives, including the Affordable Care Act of 2010, the Department of Health and Human Services’ National Action Plan to Improve Health Literacy, and the Plain Writing Act of 2010, have brought health literacy to a tipping point—that is, poised to make the transition from the margins to the mainstream. If public and private organizations make it a priority to become health literate, the nation’s health literacy can be advanced to the point at which it will play a major role in improving health care and health for all Americans.

environmental and Policy approaches to cardiovascular disease prevention through nutrition opportunities for state and local action
Health Education & Behavior, 1995Co-Authors: Karen Glanz, Becky Lankenau, Susan Foerster, Sally P Temple, Rebecca M Mullis, Thomas L SchmidAbstract:This article reviews environmental and Policy intervention approaches to cardiovascular disease prevention through nutrition and recommends opportunities for state and local health departments to initiate and participate in environmental and nutrition Policy initiatives. By addressing these complementary aims, the authors hope to stimulate further efforts to achieve progress in nutrition promotion among state and local health-related organizations. Key categories of opportunity to develop new or expanded nutrition policies and environmental strategies include economic incentives, food assistance and feeding programs, regulations for institutional food service operations, and nutrition services in health care. Environmental strategies to reduce barriers to following dietary guidelines, such as point-of-choice programs and school nutrition programs, should be tailored for local communities and widely disseminated. In addition, current Federal Policy efforts, notably nutrition labeling rules, will provide a ...

perceptions of canadian Federal Policy responses to covid 19 among people with disabilities and chronic health conditions
Social Science Research Network, 2021Co-Authors: David Pettinicchio, Michelle Maroto, Martin LukkAbstract:This study examines how people with disabilities and chronic health conditions—members of a large and diverse group often overlooked by Canadian public Policy—are making sense of the Canadian Federal government's response to COVID-19. Using original national online survey data collected in June 2020 (N=1,027), we investigate how members of this group view the government's overall response. Although survey results show broad support for the Federal government's pandemic response, findings also indicate fractures based on disability type and specific health condition, political partisanship, region, and experiences with COVID-19. Among these, identification with the Liberal party and receipt of CERB stand out as associated with more positive views. Further examination of qualitative responses shows that these views are also linked to differing perspectives surrounding government benefits and spending, partisan divisions, as well as other social and cultural cleavages.

effects of Federal Policy to insure young adults evidence from the 2010 affordable care act s dependent coverage mandate
American Economic Journal: Economic Policy, 2013Co-Authors: Yaa Akosa Antwi, Asako S Moriya, Kosali SimonAbstract:Abstract Using data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), we study the health insurance and labor market implications of the recent Affordable Care Act (ACA) provision that allows dependents to remain on parental policies until age 26. Our comparison of outcomes for young adults aged 19–25 with those who are older and younger, before and after the law, shows a high take-up of parental coverage, resulting in substantial reductions in uninsurance and other forms of coverage. We also find preliminary evidence of increased labor market flexibility in the form of reduced work hours. (JEL H51, I11, I18, J13, J22)
