@schock I would LOVE to see more #HealthEquity researchers publish about the impact #DesignJustice plays on the #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth

This would make an incredible series of #HealthImpactAssessments and even be a useful tool to rethink how #CommunityHealthNeedsAssessments are conducted

I know #PublicHealth #policy is primarily focused on the ways #PublicPolicy shapes health outcomes but #upstream design and scoping practices often shape many of the disparate impacts we see in the communities that experience inequities. We can't fundamentally change the way our institutions operate unless we interrogate and restructure the design and decision-making processes to adopt more of a #DesignJustice and #ResearchJustice lens
