Shame
Authors: Hannan Jason 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Chapter 5 looks at online shaming. It moves beyond the moral panic over “cancel culture,” which fixates too heavily on free speech and political correctness at the cost of understanding of how platform capitalism profits from social division. Drawing from Friedrich Nietzsche and Walter Benjamin, the chapter explores the nexus of debt, guilt, and capital on social media. It argues that by joining a social network, we become indebted to each other for our digital existence. This indebtedness is intimately bound up with the possibility of punishment. To be indebted is to be at the mercy of others. Online shaming is a form of punishment for the violation of communal norms. Drawing from Michel Foucault and Martha Nussbaum, the chapter argues that online shaming represents the revival of premodern rituals of public torture.
Conspiracy
Authors: Hannan Jason 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter seeks to make sense of online conspiracy theory. The opening case study concerns COVID-19 conspiracy theories and the trolling of healthcare workers and scientists. COVID-19 conspiracy theories pose a twofold problem for public health: combatting disinformation and understanding its underlying motivation. One common view holds that science communication is the answer. Against this view, the chapter argues that the popularity of conspiracy theory reflects not public ignorance but rather mass distrust. The loss of trust is one of the symptoms of a culture of widespread alienation, atomization, loneliness, cynicism, and paranoia. Drawing from Karl Marx, Charles Taylor, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Hannah Arendt, this chapter explores the relationship between the political emotion of loneliness and the fragmentation of the self. The power of conspiracy theory, it argues, is that it enables the alienated and fragmented subject to achieve a sense of wholeness once again, but only by severing the subject’s relationship to reality.
Conclusion
Authors: Hannan Jason 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The concluding chapter offers some reflections on where social media might be heading. It considers the decline of Facebook under Mark Zuckerberg and the chaos of Twitter under Elon Musk, the latter of whom has not only encouraged trolling on his newly acquired platform but has also himself become its chief troll. This chapter considers the likelihood of trolling persisting in the coming years in both its original and political forms. Whatever we might say about our rapidly evolving social media ecosystem, political trolling will unfortunately continue to be a public menace and pose a material danger to the culture of democracy, that is, unless we collectively build a spirit of trust.
Social Work and the Arts
Authors: Frumkin Emily , Lear Brianna , Schoch Jennifer , Siegel Sydney , Dutt Shefali , Deeb Max 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter views the integration of social work education and the arts through the eyes of former master’s in social work students who have since graduated from the University of Southern California Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work. Narratives are offered by those been immersed in the arts during their time at the university to illuminate their personal observations, experiences in and out of the classroom, and postgraduate musings. The narratives describe individual projects, documentaries, and personal struggles. One section documents the student-led creation of Art Rx, an interprofessional collaboration that brought together social work, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and medical students to envision how they could improve their individual and collaborative health practices. Another student shares about a unique social work and arts magazine, Soul Work, that the students published. Unique lived perspectives are offered, adding to and advancing the discourse on social work and the arts.
Four Ways the Arts Can Help Social Work Be More Future Ready and Future Engaged
Authors: Nissen Laura 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Part IV considers the future and present of the social work profession and its relationship to the arts. Chapter 14 reflects on how social work is situated in a rapidly changing world where strengths and opportunities, as well as existential threats, are evolving at unprecedented speeds. Although social work is implicitly future-oriented, focused on creating a better, more equitable world, this chapter suggests that revamping its practices, theories, and frameworks is past due. The chapter explores two intersecting and interdisciplinary frameworks: (1) futures thinking-foresight practice to assist the profession in being less reactive, decidedly intentional, and more responsive to the complexities of contemporary society and (2) the intersection of futures thinking with the power of imagination and the arts. This scintillating exploration considers how social work must collaborate with diverse communities, interdisciplinary allies, and unfamiliar and disruptive ideas to co-create its future.
Overview of Diagnosing and Treating Cancer
Authors: Hedlund Susan , Lopez Ana Maria 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the history of the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. Providing an overview of the traditional three-pronged approach to care—surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, the chapter will set the stage for the current state and future evolution of care. As understandings of cancer and its treatment approaches have evolved, so has the awareness of the psychosocial needs of patients and their loved ones. The specialty of oncology social work has also continued to evolve and grow over the past several decades. Consideration of distress, anxiety, depression, and other psychosocial issues are discussed, as well as potential opportunities and treatment approaches to provide support to patients. More recent awareness of issues such as access to care and the financial toxicity of cancer care are important for social workers to be aware of.
Innovative Models in Palliative Care in Oncology
Authors: Halpern Jennifer J , Lee Eunju 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter on innovative models in palliative care examines current practices and recommendations for future directions in the structure and clinical provision of palliative care aimed at improving access, decreasing structural inequalities, and improving clinical equity in care. It argues for innovations to be evaluated on the basis of the extent to which they address the needs of and incorporate input from historically marginalized populations. Structural innovations in palliative care provision reviewed in this chapter are from grassroots, private, and public initiatives aimed at increasing access in underserved communities by specifically responding to the unique cultural orientation of these populations, and the use of digital platforms along with caveats in its rapid expansion post-COVID. It also considers clinical innovations that address the impact of race-based trauma on communities of color and recommends medical and epistemological pluralism as an effective response to divergent cultural beliefs in health practices.
Grief, Loss, and Bereavement in Oncology and Palliative Care
Authors: Knowles Kimarie , Nathanson Abigail , Hendricks Sloan Danetta , Christ Grace 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Bereavement care is an essential part of both oncology and palliative care. As such, social workers practicing in these areas should be adept in their understanding of bereavement theory, skilled at conducting comprehensive biopsychosocial-spiritual grief assessments, and able to implement appropriate treatment plans for the individuals, families, and communities with whom they work. This chapter on loss, grief, and bereavement will review contemporary theories that guide our understanding on this topic, including the dual process model, attachment theory, and meaning reconstruction theories. It also includes an exploration into the ways in which experiences of things like culture, ethnicity, religion, race, oppression, and global health crises impact our understanding of grief. The chapter wraps up with the presentation of a three-leveled intervention model and a discussion of best practices appropriate for both short-term and long-term settings to help guide clinicians working in this area.
Palliative Care for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI) Persons Coping With Cancer
Authors: Pratt-Chapman Mandi L. , Stein Gary , Berkman Cathy , Pruitt Andre 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of palliative care needs and recommendations to advance health equity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI) cancer patients and their families. LGBTQI people have historically experienced criminalization, discrimination, and denial of health care. As a result of long-standing social stigma, health care delays, and maladaptive coping mechanisms, some LGBTQI people have a higher risk for certain cancers. Fear of health care discrimination varies by age/generation and other intersectional lived experiences. This chapter provides an overview of historical discrimination of LGBTQI persons and provides guidance on nondiscrimination policies, employment policies, intake practices, community outreach and marketing, affirming communication, and comprehensive palliative care services to ensure that LGBTQI people with cancer receive respectful, dignified care near the end of life.
America’s Growing Multicultural and Diverse Populations
Authors: Palos Guadalupe , Zhou Mi (Emma) , Tactuk Yanette 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Palliative care in oncology social work represents a crucial phase of an individual’s life, deeply affected by the complex dimensions of diversity and inequalities. Multicultural groups vary in the dimensions based on their diversity—in other words, ethnicity, religion, language, age, race, and other characteristics. Social workers must understand how the intersectionality of these dimensions creates a unique cultural identity for each client. It is almost impossible for a social worker to learn how these dimensions affect each client’s perceptions, behaviors, and expectations about cancer, palliative care, or even death. To address this challenge, this chapter presents the intersectionality of diversity framework, which social workers can use to adapt their models of practice to best serve populations facing unequal access palliative care. Social workers who pause to reflect on these dimensions will be closer to developing culturally based interventions for diverse cultural groups.
Living with and without Regret
Authors: McQueen Paddy 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This final chapter analyses the role that regret should occupy in our lives, weaving together various threads from the previous chapters. It considers, but rejects, some arguments for letting go of one’s regrets and thus living without them. It argues that we should accept our regrets, even if one is at the end of one’s life. It then assesses how the intensity of our regrets should change over time. It argues that this should track what we care about. This means that if we no longer care, or do not care much, about a mistake we made then we should feel little regret about. It then rejects the idea that self-forgiveness can justify ceasing to regret one’s mistakes. It ends with a discussion of the role that prospective regret should play in our decision-making and whether prospective regret can justify institutions preventing people from doing what they want.
On Specific Trade-Off Objections
Authors: Singer Daniel J. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter asks whether epistemic consequentialist views are wrong to sanction apparently particularly problematic trade-offs, in contrast to the previous chapter, which considered whether any trade-offs are permissible. This chapter argues that epistemic consequentialists should take three lessons from ethical consequentialists to respond to particular trade-off worries. First, epistemic consequentialism should be construed as an account of right belief, which must be distinguished from other notions like rational and justified belief. Second, the view should be ‘sophisticated’ in the same way that Railton argues that ethical consequentialism should be sophisticated. And third, the view should be ‘global’ in that it extends the consequentialist criterion of evaluation to dispositions, decision-making procedures, and the like. An important upshot of this chapter, one that’s repeated several times through out the book, is that the best versions of epistemic consequentialism mirror the structure of consequentialist views in ethics.
On Racist Beliefs and Moral Encroachment
Authors: Singer Daniel J. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
This chapter looks at a puzzle about racist beliefs first discussed by Gendler (2011) that motivates some theorists to give up on the thought that beliefs should be evaluated solely with respect to traditional epistemic factors, like what one’s evidence is. According to moral encroachment theorists, moral factors can also be relevant to how we should evaluate beliefs. Moral encroachment views don’t hang together well with truth-loving epistemic consequentialism, even if they are strictly speaking compatible. This chapter argues against moral encroachment by arguing that moral encroachment views can’t satisfactorily reply to Gendler’s puzzle, and it argues that the best reply is the one that truth-loving epistemic consequentialists would most naturally give.
Redesigning Systems with Black Women to Improve Maternal Health in Atlanta
Authors: Dorsey Jemea , Welsh Kaprice 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Community-based organizations have on-the-ground experience with health inequities, such as maternal mortality and morbidity, and understand the social determinants of health that contribute to these inequities, including racism. Building strong partnerships is necessary to change systems that contribute to these inequities. When a group of multisector partners came together to address Black maternal health in Atlanta, Georgia, there were unique challenges and opportunities, including building a model of respectful care. This project, supported by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the Center for Black Women’s Wellness, used an Equity Action Lab model to guide the work. This chapter explores this experience and how building quality-improvement capacity among partners, centering the voices of Black women, using an equity framework, and fostering shared leadership facilitated tests of change to improve Black maternal health outcomes in an urban, southeastern city.
Reimagining Prenatal Care: Designing a Justice-Conscious Approach to Reproductive Health, Pregnancy, and Early Parenthood
Authors: Warren Keegan D. , McGee Daphne 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Health and the law are intertwined in both regulations and the civil justice structure. Legal care is a critical component to healthcare that may be misunderstood. The medical-legal partnership model connects the law to the delivery of healthcare by making attorneys and paralegals part of the healthcare team, to help providers leverage legal services as part of their broader response to patients’ social service needs. The chapter includes two case studies, one from California and one from Texas, to demonstrate the power of this model. The chapter recommends that medical-legal partnerships be funded as part of a standard approach to care at every healthcare facility, and that all healthcare facilities employ a health justice lens to increase equity.
Culturally Responsive Evaluation
Authors: Broomfield-Massey Kimberley , Anderson Rakiah , Tibbs Calondra , Tucker Christine 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Understanding whether maternal mortality programs are effective and have the intended impact requires implementation of a culturally responsive program evaluation. Program evaluation is an effective tool to help guide program implementation, creates a foundation for decision-making, and assesses the overall effect of programs in communities. Using the culturally responsive evaluation framework, this chapter focuses on program evaluation methods that account for the culture and context of communities when developing, implementing, and analyzing data for program evaluation. In addition, the chapter addresses key questions evaluators should ask to ensure that they minimize bias and ensure inclusion of the community throughout the evaluation process.
Women’s Health Before, Between, Beyond, and Regardless of Pregnancy
Authors: Verbiest Sarah , Woodward Suzanne , Yates Lindsey 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Providing quality women’s health care means providing care to a diverse population of individuals regardless of their decision to become pregnant. The purpose of this chapter is to highlight some of the digital and social innovations that can be leveraged to address gaps in women’s health care, particularly innovations that can reduce disparities in health outcomes. We describe the use of three digital technologies—social media, smartphone apps, and telehealth—that can increase access to health information and health care. We also provide examples of two social innovations—language that centers reproductive justice and the evolution of the well-woman visit—that have reshaped communication and care for women and birthing people. Finally, we provide recommendations for improving primary care for women and birthing people, outlining strategies for healthcare organizations and funders/venture capitalists invested in women’s health.
Using a Learning Community Model to Address Substance Misuse and Co-Occurring Mental Health Challenges among MCH Populations
Authors: Akbarali Sanaa , Dronamraju Ramya , Patterson Katrin , Pliska Ellen , Mackie Christine 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Substance use, including use of illicit substances and misuse of prescribed medications, has increased year to year over the past decade. Additionally, postpartum depression affects one in eight US women, and mental health conditions are one of the leading underlying causes of pregnancy-related deaths. Given the complexity of this public health issue, effective provision of services requires close coordination among providers, health departments, and state and local agencies. Recognizing the importance of supportive policies and programs in facilitating this coordination, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials leveraged a learning community model to support jurisdictions in advancing access to behavioral health services for pregnant and postpartum individuals and their families. To guide team action plans and virtual/in-person programming, five key focus areas were identified, including: access to, and coordination of, quality services; provider awareness and training; data, monitoring, and evaluation; financing and coverage; and ethical, legal, and social considerations. Stakeholder partnerships were classified as a cross-cutting strategy used to support implementation of activities in all focus areas.
The Role of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau in Supporting States and Communities to Advance Maternal Health Equity
Authors: Warren Michael D. , Best Kathy K. , Patton Erin , Pettiford Belinda 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In 2021, the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) released an updated strategic plan that focused on four key goals: (1) ensuring access to high-quality and equitable health services to optimize health and well-being for all maternal and child health (MCH) populations, (2) achieving health equity for MCH populations, (3) strengthening public health capacity and workforce for MCH, and (4) maximizing impact through leadership, partnership, and stewardship. Every five years, state Title V programs conduct a comprehensive needs assessment to identify state-specific needs and priorities; the states then implement an action plan for the next five years to address priorities across MCH population domains (women/maternal, perinatal/infant, child, adolescent, children with special healthcare needs, cross-cutting/systems-building). The Maternal Health Innovation (MHI) program provides funds for states to convene a maternal health task force, to identify maternal health needs from a variety of data sources (e.g., maternal mortality review committees, vital statistics, hospital discharge data), and to implement innovative strategies to improve outcomes.
Role of Academic Health Systems in Improving and Sustaining Maternal Health
Authors: Makinde Chinekezi Olufunmilayo , Sutton Karey M. , Johnson-Agbakwu Crista E. , Taylor Yhenneko J. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In 2021, the American Medical Association (AMA) published its strategic plan detailing a road map for action and accountability in embedding racial justice and advancing health equity. The AMA’s five strategic approaches—(1) embed equity, (2) build alliances and share power, (3) ensure equity in innovation, (4) push upstream, and (5) foster truth, reconciliation, racial healing, and transformation—provide an important framework for academic health systems to advance maternal health equity. The next step is a community advisory board, which allows an academic health system to leverage the community’s expertise, knowledge, and lived experience by partnering with local champions who can help develop the programmatic, clinical, and research directions of the academic health system. Building community capacity by integrating peer support/navigators and/or community health workers as vital members of the academic health system’s workforce will advance maternal health equity through the roles these individuals play as reproductive and sexual health champions in their respective communities.

Abstract
For 80 years, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) has supported its members, their staff, and others in the fields of community health and prevention, social and behavioral health, infectious disease, emergency response, equity and diversity initiatives, population health and data informatics, public health policy, and more. ASTHO has focused on reallocation of funds, spend-down processes, successfully innovating the alignment of funding streams to meet health needs, standardizing practices related to the translation of workplans into budgets, and meeting compliance through reporting requirements. ASTHO’s Learning Community model provides direct technical assistance and peer-to-peer engagement to state and territorial health programs through both funded and unfunded projects specific to different topic areas (see Section V, “Innovations”). ASTHO has applied the Learning Community model to support states and territories as they increase capacity and build tools for sustainability in their agencies’ maternal health programs.
W. E. B. Du Bois
Authors: Wright Almeda M. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Chapter 2 discusses William Edward Burghardt Du Bois’s contributions to the racial uplift of the Black community through his teaching and research on Black education and religion. It highlights how Du Bois’s style of educational activism was shaped by his early life in the North and his relatively late encounter with the racism of the South. His early approach took the shape of encouraging Black people to perform well academically and presenting scientific scholarship about the reality of the Black experience to his White counterparts. This chapter also covers Du Bois’s complicated relationship with religion, including how he still managed to use it as a tool in his books Prayers for Darker People and The Negro Church to uplift his students and to critique the Black church. Finally, this chapter explores Du Bois’s trailblazing in Black sociological and religious scholarship.
