- "It's so important to link policy to health equity, since that really is the goal of working towards improved policy -- and it's something that we have to advocate for, however we can. Most improvements we hope for in MCH are not going to be handed to us. As always, we have to work (and sometimes fight) for them."
- "Some nice, short links this week to address a complicated subject. Kudos."
- "Translation of research is critical if we are going to present strong cases for spending money on health policies where there is not an immediate cost savings."
