AJPH Podcast: The Occupational Dimension of Public Health

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected health care and other essential workers more than other groups in the U.S., but can we quantify the damage? To what extent did it aggravate the inequities that were prevalent before the pandemic? What should public health do better next time to both prevent some harm and monitor the harm that cannot be prevented?
Alfredo Morabia (AJPH) and Vickie Mays (UCLA) discuss these issues with J. Paul Leigh, PhD, UC Davis Medical School, CA; Jerzy Eisenberg-Guyot, PhD, Columbia University, NY; and Adam Gaffney, M. D., M. P. H., Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
