Listen to Health Affairs' Vabren Watts and Ryann Tanap discuss a new peer-reviewed article published in Learned Publishing where Health Affairs shares our journey to advance racial equity in scholarly publishing of health policy and health services research.

They also discuss a recently-published Health Affairs Forefront article about our progress since 2020 — what we have achieved and what we have learned.

Our hope is that by sharing our story, we might help your organization join us in this journey.

Health Affairs’ equity work was supported by the Colorado Health Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
