Evidence for Policies and Practices to Address Global Food Insecurity
Annu Rev Public Health. 2024 Jan 2. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-060922-041451. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFood insecurity affects an estimated 691-783 million people globally and is disproportionately high in Africa and Asia and arising from poverty, armed conflict, and climate change, among other demographic and globalization forces. This review summarizes evidence for policies and practices across five elements of the agrifood system framework and identifies gaps that inform an agenda for future research. Under availability, imbalanced agriculture policies protect primarily staple food producers, and there is limi...

Challenges and Opportunities for Paving the Road to Global Health Equity Through Implementation Science
Annu Rev Public Health. 2024 Jan 2. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-060922-034822. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTImplementation science focuses on enhancing the widespread uptake of evidence-based interventions into routine practice to improve population health. However, optimizing implementation science to promote health equity in domestic and global resource-limited settings requires considering historical and sociopolitical processes (e.g., colonization, structural racism) and centering in local sociocultural and indigenous cultures and values. This review weaves together principles of decolonization and antiracism to i...

Leveraging Implementation Science to Advance Environmental Justice Research and Achieve Health Equity through Neighborhood and Policy Interventions
Annu Rev Public Health. 2024 Jan 2. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-060222-033003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnvironmental justice research is increasingly focused on community-engaged, participatory investigations that test interventions to improve health. Such research is primed for the use of implementation science-informed approaches to optimize the uptake and use of interventions proven to be effective. This review identifies synergies between implementation science and environmental justice with the goal of advancing both disciplines. Specifically, the article synthesizes the literature on neighborhood-, communit...

Climate Change, Landscape Fires, and Human Health: A Global Perspective
Annu Rev Public Health. 2024 Jan 2. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-060222-034131. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLandscape fires are an integral component of the Earth system and a feature of prehistoric, subsistence, and industrial economies. Specific spatiotemporal patterns of landscape fire occur in different locations around the world, shaped by the interactions between environmental and human drivers of fire activity. Seven distinct types of landscape fire emerge from these interactions: remote area fires, wildfire disasters, savanna fires, Indigenous burning, prescribed burning, agricultural burning, and deforestatio...

Extreme Heat and Occupational Health Risks
Annu Rev Public Health. 2024 Jan 2. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-060222-034715. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClimate change poses a significant occupational health hazard. Rising temperatures and more frequent heat waves are expected to cause increasing heat-related morbidity and mortality for workers across the globe. Agricultural, construction, military, firefighting, mining, and manufacturing workers are at particularly high risk for heat-related illness (HRI). Various factors, including ambient temperatures, personal protective equipment, work arrangements, physical exertion, and work with heavy equipment may put w...

Warning Labels as a Public Health Intervention: Effects and Challenges for Tobacco, Cannabis, and Opioid Medications
This article reviews the current state of tobacco warning labels in the United States, where legal battles have stalled pictorial cigarette warnings and new products such as electronic cigarettes and synthetic nicotine products pose unknown health risks. This article describes the emerging research on cannabis warnings; as more places legalize recreational cannabis, they are adopting lessons from tobacco warnings. However, its uncertain legal status and widespread underestimation of harms impede strict warning standards. The article also reviews opioid medication warning labels, suggesting that lessons from tobacco could h...

Turning the Health Equity Lens to Diversity in Asian American Health Profiles
Annu Rev Public Health. 2023 Dec 22. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-060222-023852. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe monolithic misrepresentation of Asian American (AsAm) populations has maintained assumptions that AsAm people are not burdened by health disparities and social and economic inequities. However, the story is more nuanced. We critically review AsAm health research to present knowledge of AsAm health profiles from the past two decades and present findings and opportunities across three topical domains: (a) general descriptive knowledge, (b) factors affecting health care uptake, and (c) effective interventions....
