Social workers are uniquely positioned to address social determinants of health in family and community settings... At their best, social workers operate as boundary spanners, reducing health disparities by helping vulnerable or marginalized individuals, families, and communities
“Social work is a neglected stepchild of American health policy practice and discourse” write authors @haroldpollack @jd_lerner & Mary Beth Shapley of @UChiUrbanLabs in the latest Milbank Quarterly Opinion. A rebuke to health policy colleagues and peers

911 public safety telecommunicators are still classified as administrative support, despite being essential to 911. They have a tough job and deserve recognition and support – @BLS let’s reclassify! #NPSTW #NPSTW2022

Longer-term results from our study of an outdoor lighting intervention in NYC. A new article with @dmitre88, @tahamonster, and @AaronChalfin coming soon to a journal near you!
Can the effect of street lighting on public safety endure over time? In a new paper w/ @dmitre88, @tahamonster & @jd_lerner, we report results from a 3 yr follow-up of the first RCT of street lighting. Large treatment effects endure three years later! 👇 https://t.co/wGbZSS0IgL

Social workers staff the front lines of American medical care and public health. They get little glory — and they are burning out.

As we work to #transform911, we also have to ensure that 988 will be well-resourced and carefully designed to help.
For people experiencing a mental health crisis, calling 911 can be dangerous. 988, a new nationwide hotline, promises a better, safer alternative, but experts fear it may not live up to the hype. Listen to learn more: https://t.co/zzlG44i5GC

"911 dispatchers are first responders. It’s time they are recognized for their essential role in the emergency response community." With the support of @AsmJohnArmato & @carolmurphyNJ, New Jersey has classified #911Professionals alongside the rest of the #FirstResponder family!
Big news in #NewJersey! Thank you to New Jersey former Assemblyman John Armato (D) & Assemblywoman Carol Murphy (D) for co-sponsoring this #bill that now designates #911 professionals as #firstresponders in the state: https://t.co/PYSWYyXvrU.
