SUMMARY:After “Hidden Valley Road:” A conversation with author Robert Kolker
DESCRIPTION:1 p.m. CT Wednesday\, Nov. 2 \nWhen journalist Robert Kolker first learned about the Galvin family through a colleague’s introduction to one of the family members\, he didn’t know whether their story had all the elements needed to become a book until he began the reporting. The narrative that unfolded—a family in which six of the 10 sons developed schizophrenia—provided a compelling framework for exploring the history of schizophrenia research from its discovery through the present day. \nThe result\, the highly acclaimed “Hidden Valley Road\,” has continued to have an impact even two years after its 2020 publication\, particularly in addressing the stigma associated with schizophrenia. Kolker will discuss how the book came about\, his realization that it could be a book\, how he found and wove medical research into his narrative\, and what the book’s current impact has been for both the Galvin family and the understanding of schizophrenia more broadly. \nView the webcast \nRobert Kolker \nTara Haelle \nRobert Kolker is the author of “Hidden Valley Road\,” an instant #1 New York Times bestseller and selection of Oprah’s Book Club; and “Lost Girls\,” also a New York Times bestseller and New York Times Notable Book. He is a National Magazine Award finalist whose journalism has appeared in the New York Times Magazine\, Wired\, O\, the Oprah Magazine\, the Marshall Project\, Bloomberg Businessweek\, and New York magazine. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Covering the lawsuit that could limit free preventive care
DESCRIPTION:12 p.m. ET Wednesday\, May 10 \nOne of the biggest health care stories of 2023 will break when the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Texas rules in the case of Braidwood Management v. Becerra. In this challenge to provisions in the Affordable Care Act (ACA)\, Christian-owned businesses and six individuals in Texas assert that the ACA’s requirements to cover preventive services without requiring patients to pay some of the costs of care is unconstitutional. If the court rules in the plaintiffs’ favor\, Americans may need to pay more for preventive health care. \nTo learn more about the implications of the lawsuit\, A. Mark Fendrick\, M.D.\, one of the nation’s leading experts on how cost-sharing harms patients\, joined AHCJ for a webcast on May 10. Fendrick explained how journalists can cover this story and how\, if the plaintiffs succeed on either constitutional or religious grounds\, it could limit or restrict the government’s ability to require health insurers and employers to cover evidence-based preventive services without cost-sharing. \nWatch the Recording  \nA. Mark Fendrick\, M.D. \nJoseph Burns \n A. Mark Fendrick\, M.D.\, is the founder and director of the Value-Based Insurance Design Center at the University of Michigan. He is also a professor of internal medicine in the university’s School of Medicine and a professor of Health Management and Policy in the university’s School of Public Health. A practicing physician\, Fendrick has seen how requiring consumers to pay for preventive health services causes patients to disregard physicians’ orders because they cannot afford to do so\, leading to adverse effects on patients’ health. Since founding the VBID in 2005\, Fendrick has advised Congress\, employers\, health plans and federal agencies on the need to eliminate patient cost-sharing. \nAdditional resources\n\nNo-Cost Preventive Services Are Now in Jeopardy.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Covering high-risk lab accidents and the COVID-19 origins story
DESCRIPTION:2 p.m. ET Thursday\, July 20 \nWe may never know whether COVID-19 originated with a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology or was the result of a natural spillover event from an unknown animal. What is known is that ongoing scientific research on high-risk pathogens in laboratories around the world could be vulnerable to a leak\, whether accidental or deliberate. \nAs investigative reporter Alison Young writes in “Pandora’s Gamble: Lab Leaks\, Pandemics\, and a World at Risk\,” the truth is “lab accidents happen with shocking frequency\, even in the world’s best-run labs.” That means journalists have a crucial role in holding the scientific community accountable. \nIn this webinar\, Young will talk about her book and provide context about what is known about what happened at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and about lab leaks more broadly. She will provide resources and tips for staying on top of this very timely issue\, which is being debated by law and policy makers\, scientists and the public. \nWatch the recording \nAlison Young.

SUMMARY:1 year later: Assessing the 988 mental health hotline
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, Aug. 17 at 1:30 p.m. ET  \nThe national 988 mental health crisis line was launched in July 2022 as an easier-to-remember alternative to the previous 10-digit hotline. The initiative\, modeled after 911\, is intended to reduce the incidence of suicide and the mental health crises that underlay suicidal ideation\, attempts and fatalities. It is distinct from 911 in that it specifically addresses suicide crises.From the start\, there have been questions about how well the hotline would function\, including whether it would result in distressed people being involuntarily committed to psychiatric hospital wards or put the caller at risk of trauma or tragedy by sending armed police untrained in mental health interventions. Panelists — including a behavioral health policy researcher and a population health management strategist — will address those questions and related aspects of this topic.  \nWatch the recording \nVincent Atchity \nHeather Saunders \nKatti Gray \n  \nVincent Atchity is president and CEO of Mental Health Colorado\, which\, in 2019\, absorbed The Equitas Project\, a national initiative to disentangle mental health and criminal justice that Atchity served as executive director.

Her work focuses on behavioral health policy\, workforce adequacy and health care delivery for people with disabilities. Prior to joining KFF\, Saunders was a researcher for Virginia’s Medicaid program. Before that\, while employed as a social worker\, she worked with clients in hospitals\, schools and outpatient settings. She also managed randomized controlled trials in behavioral health care medical settings. Saunders earned a doctorate in health care policy and research from Virginia Commonwealth University. Her dissertation examined access to behavioral health services. \nKatti Gray is AHCJ’s health beat leader for behavioral and mental health. A former Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Journalism Fellow\, Gray is providing resources to help AHCJ members expand their coverage of mental health amid ongoing efforts to de-stigmatize mental illness and to place mental health care on par with all health care. She has covered\, among other topics\, mental health care in prisons and jails\, the debate over whether mental illnesses are being over-diagnosed and efforts to persuade persons of color to be less skeptical about seeking counseling and other mental health services.

SUMMARY:Recorded: Pushing past resistance to better firearms violence reporting
DESCRIPTION:In the fall of 2022\, AHCJ held a summit in the Chicago suburbs that brought together researchers\, clinicians\, journalists and organizers to talk about how to change the “frame” of firearm violence reporting. The question was (and continues to be)\, how to apply a public health reporting approach to this problem. A movement toward ending “the crime brief” is gathering strength\, but slowly\, and there’s been pushback in newsrooms. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will explore how four journalists have tried to be part of the solution and the changes they’ve observed. They’ll share tips for managing managers\, taking small steps (and feeling okay about that) and the importance of working closely in the communities most affected by the violence. \n\n\n\nWatch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaitlin Washburn is AHCJ’s core topic leader on firearm violence.

SUMMARY:The immigrant health beat: A practical and ethical guide
DESCRIPTION:All AHCJ event listings are in Eastern Standard Time. \n\n\n\nImmigrants\, who represent 14% of the U.S. population\, aren’t inherently less healthy than their native-born counterparts. But research shows their health declines the longer they live in this country. \n\n\n\nOne of the major reasons is that there are barriers to accessing care\, partly due to a lack of English language proficiency and health insurance. Noncitizen immigrants tend to work in low-wage jobs that don’t offer that benefit. \n\n\n\nThis AHCJ webinar will provide an overview of the state of immigrant health and ethical issues that journalists should be aware of when reporting on the health status of immigrants in the U.S. For instance\, foreign-born people from the same country may have different socioeconomic backgrounds and legal immigration statuses. Reporters who interview undocumented immigrants need to be conscientious about the legal consequences that their sources may face if they use their names or images in stories. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMargarita Martín-Hidalgo Birnbaum is AHCJ’s health beat leader for health equity and an independent journalist based in Dallas.

Fluent in English and Spanish\, Birnbaum is also an interpreter and translator. Her personal and professional experiences living and working in the U.S. and in several Central American countries have informed her reporting work in covering health disparity trends among racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStella M. Chávez covers immigration for KERA\, the NPR member station in Dallas. In 2019\, she broke a national story about a large-scale immigration raid on a technology repair company in Allen\, Texas. She also reported on the Uvalde school shooting and the mass shooting at an El Paso Walmart. Previously\, she covered education and produced several multi-part projects\, including “Generation One” about immigrant students in North Texas and The Race to Save Failing Schools about schools trying to meet state academic standards. \n\n\n\nBefore joining public radio\, Chávez spent nearly 13 years as a daily newspaper reporter for The Dallas Morning News\, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale\, Fla.\, and The Ledger in Lakeland\, Fla. \n\n\n\nShe’s received several national and state awards\, including a 2021 Investigative Reporters & Editors award for the collaborative series: “Hot Days: Heat’s Mounting Death Toll on Workers in the U.S.” In 2007\, she received the Livingston Award for Young Journalists in national reporting for “Yolanda’s Crossing\,” a seven-part series that reconstructs the journey of a young sexual abuse victim from a village in Oaxaca\, Mexico\, to Dallas. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdriana Menéndez is the social services manager at the Rural Women’s Health Project in Gainesville\, Fla. In that capacity\, she manages the day-to-day operations of Project Salud\, a referral line catering to the needs of the Spanish-speaking community. She has collaborated with health care providers\, legal experts\, and social service agencies to expand the network of available resources for callers. Menéndez is an advocate for language access for minorities\, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity and cultural sensitivity in service delivery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrishti Pillai\, Ph.D.\, is the director of immigrant health policy at KFF. In that capacity\, she oversees data and policy analysis about health care access trends and issues in that population\, with a focus on health equity.  \n\n\n\nBefore joining KFF\, Dr. Pillai was the research director at the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum and a faculty member at George Washington University\, where her research focused on public charge rules\, population differences in access to maternal and child health services\, and access to government programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).  \n\n\n\nDr. Pillai holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from The Ohio State University\, a Master of Public Health degree from Emory University and a Ph.D. in public policy from George Washington University. \n\n\n\nThe analyses that Dr. Pillai has published at KFF include: \n\n\n\n\nHealth and Health Care Experiences of Immigrants: The 2023 KFF/LA Times Survey of Immigrants\n\n\n\nHealth and Health Care in the U.S.-Mexico Border Region\n\n\n\nEmployment Among Immigrants and Implications for Health and Health Care

SUMMARY:Reckoning with the Bill Gates mythos
DESCRIPTION:A Q&A with investigative journalist Tim Schwab\n\n\n\n\n\nAll AHCJ event listings are in Eastern Standard Time. \n\n\n\nDoes Bill Gates get a free pass from journalists because many have so completely internalized the idea of him as “the good billionaire”? Or is Gates truly influencing news content through the grants he makes to news organizations?  \n\n\n\nMaybe it’s both. At least that’s the argument that investigative reporter Tim Schwab makes in his new book\, “The Bill Gates Problem: Reckoning With the Myth of the Good Billionaire.”Schwab spent years reporting on billionaire Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation and has produced a counter-narrative about Gates’s activities around the world. This Q&A will examine how Gates funding influences journalism\, the challenges of critically reporting on foundation activities\, and the role of philanthropy in health care. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMary Chris Jaklevic is AHCJ’s health beat leader for patient safety based in Chicago. She’s an independent journalist who has covered health care finance\, clinical care and medical research for a variety of professional and consumer publications. Her interest in patient safety issues and the potential harms of medical interventions was honed by her experience as a contributor to HealthNewsReview.org\, a project that aimed to improve health care journalism by critiquing the accuracy and balance of media messages about medical treatments and tests. She’s a longtime AHCJ member and served on the board for two terms. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTim Schwab is an investigative journalist based in Washington\, D.C. His groundbreaking reporting on the Gates Foundation for The Nation\, Columbia Journalism Review\, and The British Medical Journal has been honored with an Izzy Award and a Deadline Club Award. “The Bill Gates Problem: Reckoning with the Myth of the Good Billionaire” is his first book.

SUMMARY:Coverage 101: Using the new state media guides to write big stories
DESCRIPTION:All AHCJ events are listed in Eastern Standard Time. \n\n\n\nThe United States has a patchwork system of health insurance coverage that leaves some people with great access to services and some with no coverage at all. It depends on a person’s birthplace\, age\, job\, income\, location\, and health status.To help journalists make sense of the confusion\, Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms — with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation — has created primers for how insurance works in each state plus a national overview that offers the big picture. You can find the guides and overview now on AHCJ’s website.In this webinar\, AHCJ Health Beat Leader Joe Burns\, who focuses on health policy and insurance\, will talk to Charles Ornstein of ProPublica and Sabrina Corlette\, J.D.\, who led the Georgetown project\, about the new tool and how to make the most of it in your reporting. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoseph Burns is AHCJ’s health beat leader on health policy and insurance. He’s an independent journalist based in Brewster\, Mass.\, who has covered health care\, health policy and the business of care since 1991. Burns has written for a variety of publications\, including The New York Times\, Fortune\, Hospitals & Health Networks\, and Medical Economics\, among others. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSabrina Corlette\, J.D.\, is a research professor\, founder\, and co-director of the Center on Health Insurance Reforms at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy.  There\, she directs research on health reform issues\, with a focus on state and federal regulation of private health insurance.

SUMMARY:Reframing Firearm Violence: How journalists can use research in their reporting
DESCRIPTION:Firearm violence is largely covered in the media as a crime issue focused on individual shooting events. But experts assert that reframing firearm violence as a broader public health issue is crucial to finding policy and community solutions aimed at preventing deaths and injury from guns.  \n\n\n\nJoin AHCJ and the National Press Club Journalism Institute at 11:30 a.m. ET on Friday\, Feb. 9\, for a conversation among experts and journalists on where to find the best data and research on firearm and gun deaths for your reporting. \n\n\n\nIn this 75-minute webinar\, we’ll explore the gaps\, go-to resources\, and facts and myths about firearms and firearm ownership. Participants will also learn: \n\n\n\n\nThe differences among firearm violence\, such as what is a mass casualty event versus a mass shooting.\n\n\n\nWhere to find new research on firearm violence.\n\n\n\nHow news coverage of firearm violence impacts victims and frontline health workers.\n\n\n\nHow to move thinking of firearm violence as “the crime beat” to more nuanced coverage across beats.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaitlin Washburn is AHCJ’s health beat leader for firearm violence and trauma and a reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times. She was a gun violence reporter for two years in Missouri for The Kansas City Star as a Report for America corps member. Previously\, Washburn was an agriculture reporter covering the omnipresent industry in California’s Central Valley for The Sun-Gazette\, also as a part of RFA. Previously\, Washburn had internships at the Morning Call in Pennsylvania\, the Center for Responsive Politics in Washington\, D.C. and The Oregonian in Portland. She spent three years as a researcher for Investigative Reporters and Editors\, based at The University of Missouri. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJessica Beard\, M.D.\, is a trauma surgeon at Temple University in Philadelphia\, PA\, a Stoneleigh Foundation Fellow\, and Director of Research for The Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting. Her research examines the perspectives of firearm-injured people on media reports of their injuries and seeks to define\, measure\, and support minimization of harmful reporting on community firearm violence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbené Clayton is a reporter in the Guardian’s California office and is the lead reporter on the newspaper’s “Guns & Lies in America” series\, which launched in 2019 and focuses on the impacts of and solutions to community violence.

SUMMARY:Gun violence reporting certification: What it is and why journalists should get it
DESCRIPTION:The movement in journalism for less episodic and more thoughtful\, trauma-informed gun violence coverage is growing\, as are opportunities for journalists to learn how to get it right. \n\n\n\nA recent example is a certification workshop held by the Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting. The day-long training\, called the “Gun Violence Prevention Reporter Certification Workshop\,” explored best practices for reporting on firearm violence and prevention. Participants included 25 journalists and 15 community-based gun violence prevention experts. \n\n\n\nThe central idea is that reporting on gun violence as a public health issue can provide a better understanding of why violence happens and how to prevent it. This type of reporting is also about minimizing the harm done by sensationalized\, episodic violence coverage. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, Jim MacMillan\, founder and director of The Initiative for Better Gun Violence Reporting\, and Alaina Bookman\, a violence prevention reporter for AL.com and a participant in the workshop\, talked about the main points of the workshop\, how certification aims to improve coverage of firearm violence prevention\, the benefits of offering a certification\, and what plans are in the works to offer the certification to more journalists. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKaitlin Washburn is AHCJ’s health beat leader for firearm violence and trauma and a reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times. She was a gun violence reporter for two years in Missouri for The Kansas City Star as a Report for America corps member. Previously\, Washburn was an agriculture reporter covering the omnipresent industry in California’s Central Valley for The Sun-Gazette\, also as a part of RFA. Previously\, Washburn had internships at the Morning Call in Pennsylvania\, the Center for Responsive Politics in Washington\, D.C. and The Oregonian in Portland. She spent three years as a researcher for Investigative Reporters and Editors\, based at The University of Missouri. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlaina Bookman was born and raised in Dallas and is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. She has experience working as a journalist for the Houston Defender and as an archivist at the University of Texas Black Diaspora Archives. Her role as a violence prevention reporter at AL.com is supported by Report for America\, a nonprofit that aids local newsrooms. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJim MacMillan is the founder and director of the Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting and the assistant director of the Logan Center for Urban Investigative Reporting at Temple University. He has been a fellow at the Reynolds Journalism Institute\, the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma and the Knight-Wallace Fellows\, as well as a visiting assistant professor at the University of Missouri School of Journalism and Swarthmore College.

SUMMARY:Using the CDC's Environmental Justice and Social Vulnerability data in your reporting
DESCRIPTION:Environmental health is a deeply intersectional topic\, which opens up the possibility of using lots of different datasets in your reporting. In this webinar\, coordinators from the CDC’s Environmental Justice Index (EJI) and Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) will show you how to access and use data found in these portals. \n\n\n\nSocial vulnerability refers to the potential negative effects on communities caused by external stresses on human health. Environmental justice is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people\, regardless of race\, color\, national origin\, or income\, to develop\, implement\, and enforce environmental laws\, regulations\, and policies. These topics are deeply connected and when these indexes are used together\, they can help to include perspectives that have historically been marginalized. \n\n\n\nJoin us for this webinar to explore the data. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaul Gordon (he/him)\, AHCJ’s health beat leader for environmental health\, is a Chicago-based environmental journalist\, photographer and arborist.

During summers in college\, he worked in conservation across the East Coast for US Fish and Wildlife and the National Park Service. After finishing school\, Gordon worked in conservation and field ecology for the National Audubon Society\, Forest Preserves of Cook County\, and Fermilab. After being awarded the Congress-Bundestag Exchange Fellowship\, he worked as a correspondent for Clean Energy Wire in Berlin and furthered his education in journalism at Freie Universität. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBen McKenzie\, M.S. (he/him)\, is a geospatial epidemiologist with the Geospatial Research\, Analysis\, and ServicesProgram (GRASP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/ the Agency for Toxic Substance andDisease Registry. Since 2021\, he has served as the team lead for the Environmental Justice Index project in collaboration with the National Center for Environmental Health and the HHS Office of Environmental Justice. Mr. McKenzie is a committed advocate for the application of geospatial sciences to promote health and health equity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElizabeth Pembleton\, M.P.H. (she/her)\, received her Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion and Behavior from the University of Georgia\, and her Master of Public Health in Epidemiology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

SUMMARY:Covering reproductive health: A closer look at issues affecting women of color
DESCRIPTION:The impact of abortion bans and the implications of challenges to the Affordable Care Act that aim to limit birth control coverage provide numerous opportunities for reporting. The same goes for stories about the effects of efforts to limit or outright ban the use of mifepristone\, a key drug that has been used in medication abortion for more than two decades. \n\n\n\nHowever\, proponents of reproductive health equity say that many journalists aren’t paying enough attention to — or are ignoring — how both current and possible restrictions will worsen the health of women of color of reproductive age\, particularly Black\, Hispanic and Indigenous women. As the implications of those restrictions become clearer\, those women — who collectively represent 36.5% women from the ages of 15 to 44 in the U.S. — may be even more likely than non-Hispanic white women to have unintended pregnancies or preterm births.Lupe M. Rodríguez\, the executive director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice\, and Lauren Sausser\, who writes about health care in the South as a member of KFF Health News’ Southern Bureau\, will join AHCJ Health Equity Beat Leader Margarita Birnbaum for this webinar.  \n\n\n\nWe’ll explore why — by some reproductive health measures — Black\, Hispanic\, Native American and Alaska Native women tend to be in poorer health than non-Hispanic white women. We’ll also delve into the role that abortion disinformation and misinformation play in contributing to reproductive health care outcomes in women of color. And we’ll talk about misconceptions about attitudes that women of color have about birth control and abortion. You’ll learn about efforts that aim to give women of color more access to reproductive health care services and encourage them to advocate for themselves. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMargarita Birnbaum is AHCJ’s health beat leader for health equity and an independent journalist based in Dallas. Over the years\, her stories about health\, as well as crime and other topics she covered early in her career\, have appeared in WebMD\, American Heart Association News\, The Dallas Morning News\, The Miami Herald and Reuters. Fluent in English and Spanish\, Birnbaum is also an interpreter and translator. Her personal and professional experiences living and working in the U.S. and in several Central American countries have informed her reporting work in covering health disparity trends among racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLupe M. Rodríguez is the executive director of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice. Over the years\, she has worked as a social justice advocate in the U.S. and Mexico. A former vice president of public affairs at Planned Parenthood Mar Monte\, Rodríguez has an undergraduate degree in neurobiology from Harvard University. She serves on the Community Advisory Board for the Center for Clinical Research at Stanford and was chair of the Commission on the Status of Women in Santa Clara County and treasurer of the Board of Directors for California Latinas for Reproductive Justice. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLauren Sausser writes about health care in the South as a member of KFF Health News’ Southern Bureau. She is based in Charleston\, South Carolina\, where she previously spent nine years covering health care at The Post and Courier.
