The Mapping Medicare Disparities (MMD) Population View provides a user-friendly way to explore and better understand disparities in chronic diseases, and allows users to: (1) visualize health outcome measures at a national, state, or county level; (2) explore health outcome measures by age, sex, race and ethnicity; (3) compare differences between two geographic locations (e.g., benchmark against the national average); and (4) compare differences between two racial and ethnic groups within the same geographic area.

This article highlights methodological approaches that will move the field forward in its ability to validly measure structural racism for the purposes of achieving health equity. The authors identify three key areas that require scholarly attention to advance anti-racist health policy research: historical context, geographical context, and theory-based novel quantitative and qualitative methods that capture the multifaceted and systemic properties of structural racism, as well as other systems of oppression.

Peer Review Study
The article presents data on the racial and ethnic distribution of COVID-19-confirmed cases and fatalities in Connecticut. The authors call for a National Commission on COVID-19 Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities to further explore and respond to the unique challenges that the crisis presents for Black and brown communities. The authors offer a request for data: data and trends on numbers from racial and ethnic groups affected by COVID-19 must be provided by the state and national health departments.
