Aaron's guest this month is Dr. Bernice Pescosolido, who is a medical sociologist at Indiana University. Dr. Pescosolido studies the environments, neighborhoods, and connections that contribute to patients' identities, and looks how this social fabric works or doesn't work for some people. Particularly, Dr. Pescosolido studies the rising suicide rates in the United States, and tries to track the pathways that have led victims to suicide. She also studies what kind of social factors contribute to how patients come into contact with (or don't manage to engage with) the medical system.  The Healthcare Triage podcast is sponsored by Indiana University School of Medicine whose mission is to advance health in the state of Indiana and beyond by promoting innovation and excellence in education, research and patient care. IU School of Medicine is leading Indiana University's first grand challenge, the Precision Health Initiative, with bold goals to cure multiple myeloma, triple negative breast cancer and childhood sarcoma and prevent type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

Medicare for All has become wildly popular among Democrats running for office these days. But what does that mean exactly? It's complicated, if you can believe that. Does this include universal coverage? What happens to employer-based insurance? We take a close look at some of the questions surrounding this issue. Related HCT episodes: 1.

The US healthcare system has a huge gap. A lot of care giving isn't covered, and it falls on families and friends to pick up the slack. It can take a lot of time and help to make it through an illness, and there isn't much coverage for that assistance. We look at several patient experiences with serious illness and the toll it takes.

For a lot of doctors and patients, the physician's traditional white coat is a big part of a doctor's identity, and contributes to their authority. Those white coats can also spread disease! It turns out, fabrics in doctors coats can be a breeding ground for bacteria, and they probably don't get cleaned often enough.

When Aaron went to Malaysia to learn about medical tourism, he became a medical tourist himself after he was mugged by a monkey. The monkey stole Aaron's glasses, and he had to have new ones made. It turned out to be pretty easy! Malaysia and many other countries actually encourage people from outside their countries to travel there for care. While it's probably not worth traveling internationally just to save on eyeglasses, there are a lot of arguments in favor of the practice generally. Aaron tells the story of his monkey encounter, and looks at the pros and cons of medical tourism.

Over the last year, we at Healthcare Triage have taken some deep dives into issues of health policy, especially those that touch on social determinants of health and health equity. The episodes that do so are a bit longer than usual. They look a little different. They also come to you thanks to the support of the RWJF, which has generously supported their creation. We’re excited about this opportunity to really dig in, and we hope you will be, too. For the next four weeks, we’re going to talk about housing.

We’re talking about housing for four weeks, thanks to the support of the RWJF! In the last episode, we introduced you to the pathways by which we might think about improving housing for low-income individuals. Today we’re going to get specific.

We’re talking about housing for four weeks, thanks to the support of the RWJF! The Low Income Housing Tax Credit (last week’s episode topic) stimulates production in order to increase the supply of affordable housing available to poorer people in the United States. But there’s another way to tackle our housing problem, and that’s by targeting /demand/ by giving people vouchers to help them pay for housing and assisting them to move to higher opportunity neighborhoods. While helping people with their rent can be helpful, the real benefits start to accrue when people move to neighborhoods with more opportunity. Vouchers alone don't insure that outcome. Rebecca Gale wrote about this in a recent Health Affairs Policy Brief. It’s also the topic of this week’s HCT.

We’ve talked about how housing is important for health. We’ve talked about how we can improve access to housing through stimulation of production through the LIHTC. We’ve talked about how we can improve access through vouchers and mobility programs. There’s one more thing we’d like to discuss: Inclusionary zoning. Zoning rules are important for making neighborhoods and municipalities function smoothly, but they can also be written in ways that keep low-income residents from moving to certain neighborhoods. David Tuller, a lecturer in UC Berkeley's School of Public Health and Graduate School of Journalism, wrote about this recently in a policy brief at Health Affairs.

Skin cancer is a big problem. Sunscreen can help protect your skin. All this is very well known. It turns out, though, that the active ingredients in sunscreen can get into peoples' bloodstreams in pretty high concentrations. And the effects of sunscreen on the environment isn't well studied. While sunscreen probably is safe for human use, and might be bad for the environment, we should still look closely at the products we're using to protect ourselves. Related HCT episodes: 1.

The Trump administration has put forth a rule change for immigration saying that if an immigrant gets one of a number of benefits from the government, it could lead to their being denied legal permanent residency or entry to the US. Will such a rule lead to some immigrant parents disnerolling their families from safety-net programs? How will this affect children? We’ve got data. Related HCT episodes: 1.

Many, many studies have associated better and more education with better health outcomes? But which way does the causality go? Do people attain more education because they're healthy?

Performative overwork is more and more common in the United States, and long hours have long been the norm in medicine. During residency, doctors have traditionally been asked to work for up to 100 hours per week. A rule in 2003 capped residents hours at 80 hours per week. Older docs claim this practice skimps on training, and might be worse for patients. A new study indicates that there is no discernable reduction in quality of care across a number of metrics. Maybe the good old days weren't so great. Related HCT episodes: 1.

Medicare Advantage are plans with private companies that contract with Medicare to deliver services.

Often, private coverage is assumed to be better than public coverage. More and more often, that’s just not what families are finding.

Nutrition studies are really, really bad a lot of the time. Sometimes researchers don't do careful work, and the systems in place don't always prevent weak research from being published. Add that to the fact that media outlets tend to overblow stories about food and cancer, and it's a recipe for research disaster.

GMOs. Vaccines. Death Panels. There are a lot of "beliefs" circulating about a wide variety of health policy issues. Luckily, these are all pretty well researched areas. Thanks to thorough investigations, we can conclude with certainty that vaccines are safe and effective, that GMOs are generally safe, and that the Affordable Care Act was not intended to execute any old people. But here's a funny thing about these beliefs: telling people the facts about these things doesn't convince them to change their mind. It turns out, the people who hold to these ideas most stridently are the least knowledgeable about science, but BELIEVE they are the most knowledgeable about these subjects.

Drinking during pregnancy is roundly frowned upon, for good reason. It's a huge risk factor for lots of post-natal problems. But prevention can be counter intuitive.

Lots of parents in the United States rely on paid childcare so that they can do things like go to work, or get things done in a reasonably efficient manner. Daycare provider rules that keep sick kids at home for things like pink eye or a fever can make parents lives more difficult, and usually for no good reason. Many providers won't let kids back in without proof that they're taking antibiotics, even for mild illnesses that wouldn't benefit from such a treatment.

We spend a lot of money on social programs. Studies indicate that a lot of those programs work to improve health outcomes for people who receive the benefits. So, does that social spending reduce healthcare costs? Not really. But cutting social spending doesn't help with health. As usual, it's complicated, but there's a lot of evidence these programs are doing good. Spending is worth it sometimes.

Aaron talks to Dr. Tatiana Foroud about her career and her current work in genetics and genomics. Her work spans from the early days of searching for DNA markers for rare disorders to today's search for genetic causes and potential treatments around Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Foroud's career relates a story about how the technology and techniques have developed over decades, and how these breakthroughs could lead to new treatments. We'll also get into the explosion in home genetic testing, and how this trend has changed public perception of genetic testing and treatments. The Healthcare Triage podcast is sponsored by Indiana University School of Medicine whose mission is to advance health in the state of Indiana and beyond by promoting innovation and excellence in education, research and patient care.
