US Life Expectancy Drops to Lowest Level Since 2003
Life expectancy in the United States continued its downward trend in 2020 to just over 77 years of age. This marks a 1.5 year decline from 2019 when US life expectancy stood at 78.8 years. Deaths from COVID -19 accounted for the majority of the decline. The decline would have been far worse had it not been for a reduction in deaths from cancer. Declines in life expectancy among various groups showed disturbing inequities with people of Hispanic origin showing the greatest decline of three...

Initiating Cross-Sector Partnerships to Advance Population Health
Social determinants of health are the factors beyond individual behavior that impact the health status of individuals and communities. When these determinants disproportionately affect some groups in ways that are unjust or unfair, health inequities exist. One way to address the negative influences of these determinants is through collaborative partnerships. Community leaders like Extension professionals can initiate and develop cross-sector partnerships to collaborate with other...

Re: Initiating Cross-Sector Partnerships to Advance Population Health
Social determinants of health (SDOH) are the social-environmental factors that set the context for human behaviors and behavioral disparities that impact the health and well-being of individuals and populations. When socio-environmental resources (and risks) are disproportionately distributed among groups of people in ways that are persistently unjust or unfair, health inequities exist and disparities measurable. One way for Extension (a public sector, cross-disciplinary, multi-level system)...

You should also be aware that therapists and licensed psychologists often use different terminology when describing their own roles and responsibilities as professionals. For example, I've found that many health care professionals use "therapist" without realizing it because they are not trained as psychologists; therefore, they use language such as "therapist" instead of "psychologist," "psychologist" instead of "psychotherapist," etc.. This confusion can be very confusing if it turns out...
