Rapid-Cycle Experimentation With State and Federal Policymakers for Optimizing the Reach of Racial Equity Research

Am J Public Health. 2021 Sep 9:e1-e4. doi: 10.2105/AJPH.2021.306404. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRacial disparities and racism are pervasive public health threats that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, it is critical and timely for researchers to communicate with policymakers about strategies for reducing disparities. From April through July 2020, across four rapid-cycle trials disseminating scientific products with evidence-based policy recommendations for addressing disparities, we tested strategies for optimizing the reach of scientific messages to policymakers. By getting such research into the hands of policymakers who can act on it, this work can help combat racial health disparities. (Am J Public Health.
