Ok, tweet peeps, I need your help: can you help me identify ppl to folow + articles that I missing in the intersection of #impsci #healthcare #disparities?

Here are some examples:

We cannot talk abt disparities without talking about context… Here are 2 papers that I like:

Implementation, context and complexity

Context is a problem in research on health behaviour change, knowledge translation, practice implementation and health improvement. This is because many intervention and evaluation designs seek to...

We have to define inequities in healthcare. Here is one definition:
They are unjust differences between populations in the access, use, quality and outcomes of care

Now let’s talk about how in impsci we have been dealing w healthcare disparities. #AmyKilbourne has this very nice paper encouraging us to think abt the origins of health and health care disparities from a health services research perspective:

Harnessing Implementation Science to Increase the Impact of Health Disparity Research

Health disparities are differences in health or health care between groups based on social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantage. Disparity research often follows three steps: detecting (Phase...

Reframing implementation science to address inequities in healthcare delivery

Research has generated valuable knowledge in identifying, understanding, and intervening to address inequities in the delivery of healthcare, yet these inequities persist. The best available interv...

And now let’s talk about #covid. We knew that disparities in healthcare delivery existed. What the pandemic is doing is opening our eyes and making us (even) more aware of the amount of work to do:

These are just some examples. SO MUCH TO LEARN.

What are your "to go" papers for #healthcare #disparities?

Who should we follow here in #twitter that works in the intersection of #disparities in #healthcare?

Thanks!
