Our new paper is out, showing that financial strain is an under-recognized social need. Financial strain (difficulty making ends meet) is associated with LOTS of poor outcomes. Important because it is addressable. authors.elsevier.com/a/1k9it…
It was privilege to co-chair this important session @UMNCHAI @PublicHealthUMN

This course was a hit last year & now it’s back for 2024! One student from last year said, “...this course has reenergized me as a public health practitioner. My passion for this work feels restored as a direct result of this course.”
✨ and THIS is why I’m here! ✨
Anyone interested in taking a class with me this summer @PublicHealthUMN ? I am excited to teach this newly designed course and would welcome any questions you might have. And if you don't know - summer is AMAZING in MN :)
