SUMMARY:Homelessness and Health: An AHCJ Summit
DESCRIPTION:Housing is a health care issue. \n\n\n\nResearch leaves little doubt about the negative impact a lack of a place to call home has on people’s health. The toll on mental and emotional health is enormous\, alongside the physical harms. People experiencing homelessness are more vulnerable to becoming victims of crime\, especially women\, and more likely to experience a medical emergency. Unsurprisingly\, the life expectancy of people who are unhoused is significantly lower than for the general population. Alarms are sounding about the nation’s aging\, unhoused population. \n\n\n\nWe’re going to dig into this complicated issue at our fall summit Nov. 2-3 in Oakland\, Calif. Setting aside the politics while being mindful of the myths surrounding homelessness\, we’ll bring together experts\, journalists and people with lived experience to talk about: \n\n\n\nWhat the research shows about who is experiencing homelessness and the factors that contributed to them losing their housing.How “street teams” are addressing people’s critical health needs and providing a bridge to more sustained care.Approaches to addressing the mental and behavioral health needs of people who are unhoused.The upstream causes of homelessness and promising approaches to preventing it. \n\n\n\n\nWhat the research shows about who is experiencing homelessness and the factors that contributed to them losing their housing.\n\n\n\nHow “street teams” are addressing people’s critical health needs and providing a bridge to more sustained care.\n\n\n\nApproaches to addressing the mental and behavioral health needs of people who are unhoused.\n\n\n\nThe upstream causes of homelessness and promising approaches to preventing it.\n\n\n\n\n\nView the program\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHotelWaterfront Hotel- JDV by Hyatt10 Washington StreetOakland\, Calif. \n\n\n\nBook your hotel room in the AHCJ block here. \n\n\n\nRegistrations made after Oct. 13 will not include meals. \n\n\n\nAirThe Oakland International Airport (OAK) is a breeze to navigate and is only 8 miles from downtown Oakland.

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. She is also 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. Before that\, Washburn was an agriculture reporter covering the omnipresent industry in California’s Central Valley for The Sun-Gazette\, also as a part of RFA.  \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. She started covering gun violence in her hometown of Richmond\, California and is now based in Los Angeles where she covers the people who live where shootings and homicides happen most.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristopher “Flood the Drummer” Norris is a two-time Emmy-nominated broadcast journalist and former managing editor for community and engagement at WHYY\, the Philadelphia NPR and PBS affiliate. He established the radio/TV station’s community engagement department and hosted Community Conversations\, a series of public affairs specials that tackled gun violence\, police reform\, voting rights\, reparations and more.  \n\n\n\nNorris serves as the strategic advisor to the CEO of StoryCorps\, a 20-year old national nonprofit organization that preserves and shares humanity’s stories in order to build connections between people and create a more just and compassionate world. He also oversees StoryCorps’ One Small Step\, a national program that pairs strangers across the political divide for conversations about their lives\, in an effort to reduce toxic polarization and highlight a shared humanity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSammy Caiola was most recently a gun violence prevention reporter at WHYY News in Philadelphia. In 2022 she was a professional mentor with the Philadelphia Center for Gun Violence Reporting’s Credible Messenger Program\, and she currently serves as a senior fellow with the University of Southern California’s Domestic Violence Impact Fund. She was a 2023 Ochberg fellow with the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma. She is the co-host of “Stop and Frisk: Revisit or Resist”\, a Murrow Award-winning podcast about policing and public safety\, and “After the Assault”\, a participatory journalism podcast about healing from sexual 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. 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\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
