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....

Using Participatory Implementation Science to Advance Health Equity
Annu Rev Public Health. 2023 Dec 18. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-060722-024251. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParticipatory approaches to implementation science (IS) offer an inclusive, collaborative, and iterative perspective on implementing and sustaining evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to advance health equity. This review provides guidance on the principles and practice of participatory IS, which enables academic researchers, community members, implementers, and other actors to collaboratively integrate practice-, community-, and research-based evidence into public health and health care services. With a founda...

More than a Nuisance: Implications of Food Marketing for Public Health Efforts to Curb Childhood Obesity
Annu Rev Public Health. 2023 Dec 18. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-090419-102616. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFifteen years ago, public health experts urged industry, governments, and advocates to take action to dramatically improve the unhealthy food-marketing environment surrounding children in order to address the global childhood obesity crisis. Since then, research has confirmed that food marketing to children has far-reaching negative effects on their diets and health, takes advantage of adolescent vulnerabilities, and contributes to health disparities. In addition, digital marketing has profoundly changed young ...

Lessons Learned from Immigrant Health Cohorts: A Review of the Evidence and Implications for Policy and Practice in Addressing Health Inequities among Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders
Annu Rev Public Health. 2023 Dec 18. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-060922-040413. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe health of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) is uniquely impacted by structural and social determinants of health (SSDH) shaped by immigration policies and colonization practices, patterns of settlement, and racism. These SSDH also create vast heterogeneity in disease risks across the AANHPI population, with some ethnic groups having high disease burden, often masked with aggregated data. Longitudinal cohort studies are an invaluable tool to identify risk factors of disease, a...

Contemporary Public Health Finance: Varied Definitions, Patterns, and Implications
Annu Rev Public Health. 2023 Dec 18. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-013023-111124. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe financing of public health systems and services relies on a complex and fragmented web of partners and funding priorities. Both underfunding and "dys-funding" contribute to preventable mortality, increases in disease frequency and severity, and hindered social and economic growth. These issues were both illuminated and magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic and associated responses. Further complicating issues is the difficulty in constructing adequate estimates of current public health resources and necessary ...

Test and Treat for Prediabetes: A Review of the Health Effects of Prediabetes and the Role of Screening and Prevention
Annu Rev Public Health. 2023 Dec 18. doi: 10.1146/annurev-publhealth-060222-023417. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe term prediabetes describes blood glucose levels above the normal range but below the threshold to diagnose type 2 diabetes. Several population health initiatives encourage a test and treat approach for prediabetes. In this approach, screening and identification of individuals with prediabetes should be followed by prompt referral to structured lifestyle modification programs or pharmacologic interventions that have been shown to prevent or delay the progression to type 2 diabetes in clinical trials. Here we...
