SUMMARY:Webcast: Race\, criminal justice and health
DESCRIPTION:The focus on racial injustice in the U.S. – particularly the effect of race on criminal justice – has been in the public spotlight following the tragic deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson\, Eric Garner on Staten Island\, and Tamir Rice in Cleveland during encounters with law enforcement. While these inequities play out in numerous areas\, health and well-being is one sector in which minority groups are dramatically and disproportionally affected. \nThis Forum event will examine how disparities within the law and the criminal justice system negatively affect health\, as well as how the role of race interacts with neighborhood environments\, educational and employment opportunities\, public policy\, and other factors to lead to poorer health.      \nE-mail questions for the expert participants before the live webcast to theforum@hsph.harvard.edu. Or Tweet them to@ForumHSPH using #HealthAndRace. We’ll also conduct a live chat on The Forum’s Race\, Criminal Justice and Health web page. The Forum will accommodate as many questions as we can during a limited Q&A. If time does not allow for us to ask your question\, we encourage you to continue the conversation by posting comments on our website at ForumHSPH.org. \nParticipants: \n\nJim Doyle\, Former Wis. governor and former attorney general\, and health care lawyer\, Foley & Lardner LLP\n\n\n\nFelton Earls\, professor of human behavior and development\, emeritus\, Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences\, Harvard T.H.

SUMMARY:Last day of open enrollment for year two of the Affordable Care Act
DESCRIPTION:Today is the last day for open enrollment for year two of the Affordable Care Act. Note: The period has been extended to Feb. 22. \nNote: The enrollment period was extended for people who were trying to get covered through HealthCare.Gov and either faced technical problems (there was a data glitch involving income verification one day before the deadline) or faced very long waits though the call center in the last three days of the regular enrollment period. (Most states running their own exchanges have similar SEPs\, and a few hit by this year’s heavy snows extended enrollment briefly).

SUMMARY:Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC)
DESCRIPTION:The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health will host a special web event Feb. 25. Viewers will learn about the new scientific report from the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC)\, released last week. The report will help inform updates to U.S. dietary guidelines\, but it has left some consumers confused. \nThe widely reported results have caused some people to wonder exactly what changes the committee is recommending – but more importantly\, why? You may have heard reports that now “eggs are OK to eat” or “high sugar diets are just as bad for you as high saturated fat diets.” By hearing directly from the scientists involved in putting together this report\, this event will help you understand how to eat a healthier diet using the latest scientific information.  \nPresenters include Dr. Barbara Millen\, chairperson of the DGAC and additional members of the DGAC\, including Frank Hu\, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard Chan School.  \nLearn more about the event.  \nView webcast here.  \nRead a copy of the report. \nSubmit questions for the presenters. \nDate & time: February 25\, 20153:30 – 6:00 p.m.
