Modern Healthcare: Public health leaders are lauding HHS' call for money and data to drive stronger health initiatives that take into account social determinants.
HHS said in a white paper released Tuesday that funding reductions have strained local public health agencies and prevent them from addressing issues such as HIV prevention and infant mortality in some of the country's poorest communities.
The paper, which outlined the initiative called Public Health 3.0, looks at income, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and place of residence. The initiative is the next step of the Obama administration's Healthy People 2020.
