The UK's COVID-19 public enquiry, with Richard Horton Aug 22, 2024

The first module of the UK's COVID-19 enquiry was published in July 2024. The enquiry found that the UK prepared for the wrong sort of pandemic, suffered from groupthink, and ultimately failed its citizens, more than 200,000 of whom died as a result of the pandemic.
Editor-in-chief of The Lancet, Richard Horton, joins Gavin and Jessamy to discuss his experiences giving evidence to the enquiry. We reflect on the findings, dissect their meaning for pandemic preparedness, and talk about what the UK government needs to do next.

In our final episode of this collaboration between the Race & Health podcast and The Lancet Voice, intersectionality brings three researchers together to discuss how intersectionality can serve the health community and promote health equity.

Race & Health: History of medical racism Apr 11, 2024

Race and racism are based in history, and how humans thought about the physical differences. Early conceptions of these differences were focused on physical adaptations across geographies around the world. This thinking evolved over time: explanations for these differences changed as human history and science evolved. The associations between disease and race grew closer over time, however the extent to which this can be explained by science is limited. Listen to learn more about this evolution, and the impact that this has on today’s medical practices.
Guests include Erica Charters, Professor of the Global History of Medicine at the University of Oxford, Carlos López Beltrán, Senior Researcher at Instituto de Investigaciones Filosóficas, National Autonomous University of Mexico, and Alexandre White, Assistant Professor in the Johns Hopkins Department of Sociology and in the Department of the History of Medicine.

Race & Health: Epistemic injustice Mar 14, 2024

Whose knowledge is represented in our health research, policies, and practice? Who is heard, listened to and believed in our health system, and why? There are differences in not only whose perspectives are represented in society, but also what knowledge is valuable. On this episode of the Race & Health Podcast in collaboration with The Lancet Voice, we explore the concept of epistemic injustice: the idea that knowledge and systems of knowledge production favour the perspectives of those at the top of the social hierarchy. We will explore how epistemic injustice works, what this means for representation in research, services, and policies, and ultimately, how this relates to racism and health.

This episode's guests include Dr Seye Abimbola, Associate Professor and Principle Research Fellow at the University of Sydney, Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan, Consultant in Sexual Health and HIV Medicine at Barts Health NHS Trust and an Honorary Senior Lecturer at Queen Mary University of London, and Dr Naidu Thirusha, Head of Clinical Psychology at King Dinuzulu Hospital and an Associate Professor in the School of Nursing and Public Health at University of KwaZulu-Natal.

A new vaccine in the fight against malaria Feb 29, 2024

In 2022, WHO’s African Region saw 233 million cases of malaria, with 580,000 deaths. 80% of those deaths are children under 5. The phase 3 trial of the new R21/Matrix-M malaria vaccine was published in The Lancet this month, and the results suggest a turning point in the fight against malaria. Gavin is joined by Professor Sir Adrian Hill, one of the creators of the vaccine, to discuss the process the vaccine went through, the history of malaria vaccine research, and what the future holds.

Race & Health: Under the skin Feb 08, 2024

In this episode, Delan Devakumar and guests shed light on how the social construction of race and its operators take a physiological toll of chronic exposure to racism. They discuss maternal and child health, the concept of race and biology, and how constant microaggressions, systemic inequalities, and overt discrimination can lead to a sustained state of stress that goes far beyond mere emotional distress. There are also recommendations for applying anti-racism in everyday life, and how we can strive for a future where everyone, regardless of their background, can live a healthy and fulfilling life.

Guests include Dr. Ndidiamaka Amutah-Onukagha, the Julia A. Okoro Professor of Black Maternal Health in the Department of Public Health and Community Medicine at Tufts University School of Medicine, Dr. Arline Geronimus, Professor of Health Behaviour and Health Education at the University of Michigan, and Dr. Jonathan Wells, Professor of Anthropology and Paediatric Nutrition at the Population, Policy & Practice Department at UCL.

Race & Health: Eugenics in science Jan 11, 2024

Eugenics is a concept closely tied to what makes us unwell, and its roots in race medicine amplifies the drivers of racial health inequities, ableism, and white supremacy. Though scientifically flawed, eugenic thinking is present throughout modern-day society and politics. We can see eugenic thinking in policies and protocols throughout the pandemic, through mental health, and much more. In the third episode of our collaboration with the Race & Health podcast, we learn about how eugenics was created, how it has been employed, and how today’s public health world is still riddled with this divisive concept.
Guests include Dr Ayah Nuriddin, who is the Cotsen postdoctoral fellow in the Society Fellows, a lecturer, and in the Council of the Humanities in African American Studies at Princeton University, Angela Saini, an award-winning journalist and author of books, including Superior, the Return of Race Science, and Professor Marius Turda, professor of biomedicine and director of the Centre for Medical Humanities at Oxford Brookes University.

Race & Health: COVID-19 and racism Nov 06, 2023

Host Delan Devakumar is joined by Kevin Fenton (Public Health Director for London, UK), Ayoade Alakija (Chair of the African Vaccine Delivery Alliance), and Kumanan Rasanathan (Executive Director, Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research) to explore COVID-19 and racism by unpacking key themes of power and influence. Drawing from their experiences in public health practice and global health policy, they discuss how racism stratifies power across the community and structural levels, and why communities of colour bore the brunt of the pandemic. How do policies informing preparedness and resource distribution reinforce these differences?

Spotlight on Research for Health: Translating evidence to policy Sep 14, 2023

Generating scientific evidence is, although essential, just the first step. For clinical practice to be driven by evidence we must ensure that the knowledge is translated into policies that guide practice and are available for all. But how? The road from research to clinics is not a linear one, nor it is the same in every setting. Trials conducted in high-income countries can offer limited support to practice-changing in other contexts. So how do we go from evidence to implementation?
Taissa Vila, Editor-in-Chief at The Lancet Regional Health - Americas, speaks with Ana Claudia de Souza, a stroke neurologist and trialist at Hospital Moinhos de Vento in Brazil about translating evidence to clinical practice in low- and middle-income settings.
