As a public health researcher, and dean of a school with a mental health chair named in her honor, I am immensely grateful to Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter for her tremendous impact on mental health. Thank you for your legacy.
Emory University joins the world in mourning the passing of former first lady Rosalynn Carter, who partnered for decades with Emory, uniting her vision of a more equitable health care system with the university’s strengths in research, training & service. links.emory.edu/Nv

Rollins researchers found the COVIDTests.gov program resolved inequities in at-home COVID test use, as the tests were used equally by white & Black persons. Without the program, 1 in 4 Black Americans would have likely been unable to access tests. sph.emory.edu/news/news-rele…
Rollins researchers from @EmoryRISE have found that Georgia’s House Bill 481 likely bans nearly 90% of abortions in Georgia, which especially affects Black people, young people, and people with less education. bit.ly/3pbV1BX

Mental stress impacts women’s hearts differently than men’s.
That’s according to recent research from Rollins, which determined that the ways in which small arteries surrounding the heart respond to stress carry important risks for women.

Postpartum mental health is a crucial aspect of public health—and it’s especially dire in the state of Georgia. For Ask an Expert, we spoke with Assoc. Prof. Sarah Blake, PhD, about what needs to be done now and in the future to support Georgia mothers sph.emory.edu/news/news-rele…
The new advisory from the @Surgeon_General warning about the risks of social media use to the mental health of youth speaks to me as both a mother and a researcher. This report is a guide for parents and a call to action for researchers.
Is social media safe for kids? A new advisory from @Surgeon_General highlights its impact on the ongoing youth mental health crisis, including that one third of youth ages 13–17 are using social media constantly. To help parents, we need more research, says @DeanDaniFallin
