The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s 988 telephone number, launched on July 16, was designed as a universal mindset support tool for callers anytime anywhere. But the United States is a patchwork of resources for crisis relief, so what comes next is not universal. The level of support 988 callers receive depends on their postcode. In particular, rural Americans, who die by suicide at a much higher rate than residents of urban areas, often have trouble accessing mental health services. While 988 connects them to a call center close to home, they can end up being directed to far away resources.Read News

Against “Public Health”

Perhaps no single public health method is more prevalent than epidemiology, which uses shoe-leather data collection and statistics to study the incidence and distribution of disease among populations.

However, it also exposes the downsides of a public health approach that sees itself as all science, no politics. The epidemiological approach is often “characterized by a focus on factors isolated from their context,” wrote the late epidemiologist Steve Wing. He noticed that his colleagues often focusedRead News
