Abstract
The Commonwealth Fund's Advancing Health Equity program and the Health Equity Journal Editors invite paper submissions focused on the topic of Health Equity in the United States. Specifically, we invite the submission of content that covers the following areas:
Changing Mindsets: Works that focus on: (1) how Americans develop their views as it relates to health care and health equity and (2) existing strategies that can actively shift mindsets Promoting Antiracism in Health Delivery Systems: Works that highlight ways that health systems are modifying their operations to focus on health equity Promoting Antiracism in Health Policy: Works that support understanding (1) how current policies might be modified or built upon to advance health equity and (2) opportunities to develop new equity-centered policies.
The focus of this Special Collection is to highlight recent efforts that are leading to
increased access to equitable care,
systems-level changes among provider organizations that are centering health equity; and
opportunities to modify and/or develop policies that will lead to advancement in health equity. In addition to these topics, the issue seeks to highlight health equity efforts that are also specific to perinatal health care, given the vast disparities in outcomes across races and ethnicities.
