THE VOICE OF ACADEMIC PUBLIC HEALTH

ANNUAL REPORT 2019

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Dear Colleagues, Academic public health matters today more than ever. It falls to academic public health to articulate the forces that generate health, to lead on translating that understanding towards creating a healthier world, and to prepare the next generation of public health doers, thinkers, and teachers. In a rapidly changing world, our role has never been more important. Forces like climate change, population aging, and urbanization are changing how we live and creating new challenges—and new opportunities. ASPPH serves a critical role as the voice of academic public health, elevating the work of all of its member schools and programs and helping to find synergies that can help us all better serve our mission. ASPPH has been aspiring to do this ever better over the past few years. This started with a thorough refresh of how we operate, led by past-chair Dr. Donna Peterson. Now, building on that refresh and on our Strategic Plan, we are acting to bring to life what we said we would do, all aimed at fulfilling our mission. By way of example, I highlight here one or two activities of the organization on each of our strategic goals. 1.

Leadership for academic public health: ASPPH is working toward building a Global Network for Academic Public Health, starting with a first-ever meeting in Asia, co-hosted by National Taiwan University College of Public Health in 2019. The newly formed Global Network will serve to extend the formal work of the organization globally, providing opportunities for synergy with partners world-wide. Enhance quality of public health education: The ASPPH Academic Public Health Leadership Institute (APHLI) was launched in 2019 to focus on the unique challenges leadership at ASPPH-member schools and programs face. Additionally, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Task Force continues to drive strategies to guide membership in evidence-based methods to research, document, and publish effective teaching and learning. Advocate for the public’s health: ASPPH constituted a task force that resulted in the report, “Bringing Science to Bear on Opioids,” addressing the opioid crisis, one of the sentinel epidemics of our time. The report makes and documents dozens of recommendations and was distributed to all state attorneys general and to more than 1,800 lawyers of record in the 2,600+ federal lawsuits against opioid manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. We also established a task force to develop a Statement of Commitment to Zero Tolerance of Harassment and Discrimination, envisioning that the cultures of all our schools and programs will be free of any forms of harassment and discrimination. Operate an innovative, collaborative organization: ASPPH’s Data Center supports and advances institutional research and effectiveness at member institutions to drive decision making.

This work is done by all of the organization’s members, with leadership by the board and the ASPPH staff, led superbly by Dr. Laura Magaña. It is a privilege to serve on the board, and to work alongside colleagues who are so deeply committed to creating a healthier world. We enter 2020 amidst turbulent times. A looming US federal election will, inevitably, have repercussions for the forces that shape health and it will demand an ever stronger ASPPH to amplify our voices and to ensure that together we act towards creating a healthier world. Thank you to all of you who make this so, every day. Warmly,

Sandro Galea, MD, DrPH

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

Dear Colleagues and Friends, This past year was full of exciting advancements for ASPPH. You will read about our organization’s growth throughout our 2019 Annual Report; however, I would like to highlight the people, leadership, and initiatives that further our vision of improved health for everyone, everywhere. This year, we welcomed 14 new members to the ASPPH community, bringing our total membership base to 128 schools and programs of public health from seven different countries. We recognize ASPPH-staff because our success and the success of our member schools and programs begins with a team of dedicated professionals who are the foundation of our organization. We are grateful to our Board of Directors. Their leadership grounds us in our commitment to achieving the goals laid out in our strategic plan and inspires us to be at the forefront of academic public health – continuously looking toward the challenges of the future and ensuring our members are prepared to meet them. As the voice of academic public health, every day we continue to harness the power of our profession to advance national conversations and champion equity for all. ASPPH remains an active participant on a host of legislative, regulatory and legal issues. These advocacy efforts give voice to the concerns of the academic public health community on policy issues that violate or affirm the values or our leaders, faculty, and students. I am proud of the strong efforts and collaboration of academic public health leaders and ASPPH staff who produced several reports and statements grounded in evidence-based research. As we enter 2020 with a climate of political uncertainty in the U.S. and around the world, ASPPH will remain true to our fundamental principles and use skill, imagination, and the support of policymakers and colleagues to navigate through these uncertainties and continue to develop tomorrow’s public health scholars and leaders together.

Warmly,

Laura Magaña, PhD President and CEO

"Academic public health is dynamic but must remain a servant of evidence, science, and research. Navigating through political confusion while remaining true to our fundamental principles takes skill, imagination, and supportive policy makers and colleagues. I believe this conference shows that despite our different countries, languages, and political systems, our shared interests in improving academic public health and in training tomorrow's public health scholars and leaders, strongly unites us.

ASPPH AND MEMBERS RAISE THEIR VOICES

OPIOID REPORT: "BRINGING SCIENCE TO BEAR ON OPIOIDS" ASPPH Expert Panel Issues Recommendations for Evidence-Based Public Health Initiatives to Address the Opioid Crisis. The national conversation around the opioid epidemic was advanced with the release of a report prepared by an expert panel. “Bringing Science to Bear on Opioids” features dozens of recommendations to address the opioid crisis in the United States and was distributed to all state attorneys general and to more than 1,800 lawyers of record in the 2,600+ federal lawsuits against opioid manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. It has also been distributed to more than 500 reporters and 1,200 congressional staff with related portfolios.

Task Force Recommendations • • • • • • •

Improve the collection of evidence and epidemiological data on all dimensions of the opioid epidemic Combat stigma Ensure access to medications for opioid use disorder Reduce associated harms Support primary prevention efforts Fund research Advance program evaluation and implementation science

"'Primary strategies for preventing opioid misuse are critical to stopping the epidemic and should be focused on youth and the public at large.' Visit ASPPH.org/ opioids to read the newly released report and recommendations. #ThisIsPublicHealth #ASPPHadvocates #OpioidCrisis" @aspphtweets

The Task Force’s recommendations were made within the context of the following foundational principles, upon which Task Force members agreed during the initial phase of their deliberations: •

• •

•

• •

The opioid crisis is a public health issue that must be addressed in many diverse sectors including healthcare, the criminal legal system, workforce, and economic and community development Opioid use disorder (OUD — i.e. opioid addiction) is a chronic, relapsing brain disorder characterized by continued substance use despite negative consequences The opioid crisis was exacerbated, if not caused by a multi-faceted pharmaceutical industry marketing campaign that minimized opioid risks, encouraged aggressive use, and led to a dramatic increase in opioid prescribing Social determinants of health, such as racial/ethnic and economic disparities in access to care, and corporate determinants of health, such as deceptive marketing of pharmaceutical products, must be addressed to solve the problem It is crucial that related policies and programs be aligned with guiding principles of public health, such as the primacy of health and well-being for individuals and communities; dignity for all affected; equality of access; and respect for diverse values, cultures, and beliefs Resources gleaned from criminal actions or settlements should be used to mitigate the opioid epidemic and prevent similar crises from occurring in the future The scale of the synergistic epidemics of OUD, hepatitis B and C, HIV, and suicide calls for a response like the highly successful Ryan White Care Act, a multi-pronged public health approach to the AIDS epidemic

The Task Force also recommends several legislative and regulatory reforms to be incorporated into the ASPPH advocacy agenda to prevent further inappropriate lobbying, marketing, and prescribing of these highly addictive substances; and to increase access to harm reduction services. Visit ASPPH.org/opioids to learn more.

Statistics About the Opioid Crisis in the United States • • • •

More Americans die each year from opioid overdoses than died in any armed conflict since the end of World War II On average, 130 Americans die each day from an opioid overdose Overdose is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death, surpassing motor vehicle deaths The annual number of opioid overdose deaths is projected to reach 82,000 in the year 2025

- Cited in the panel's report

"If a master settlement agreement is reached in the multi-district litigation currently pending, funds should be used not only to compensate states and communities for expenditures related to the epidemic, but also to prevent it from spreading, ameliorate associated harms, and contain related epidemics." ASPPH Task Force on Public Health Initiatives to Address the Opioid Crisis

"We believe the Task Force’s recommendations, if implemented and adequately resourced, will help advance the treatment of people currently suffering from opioid use disorder, greatly reduce the number of citizens misusing opioids in the future, and begin to heal communities devastated by the opioid crisis." Sandro Galea

Chair, ASPPH Board of Directors Dean, Boston University School of Public Health

"The opioid crisis is a local, national, and global public health issue that touches all levels of society. The Task Force’s recommendations stress the critical need to reach across sectors and engage all possible resources to address the opioid epidemic and reduce associated harms.” Robert P. Pack

Chair, ASPPH Opioid Task Force Associate Dean for Academic Affairs & Professor of Community and Behavioral Health East Tennessee State University

STATEMENT OF COMMITMENT TO ZERO TOLERANCE OF HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION "There should be zero tolerance for acts of harassment or discrimination in academic public health. As we aspire to apply this zero-tolerance mandate, we envision that the cultures of all of our schools and programs will be free of any forms of harassment and discrimination." ASPPH is committed to taking steps to end any form of harassment and discrimination and encourages schools and programs of public health to enact zero tolerance approaches that align with their respective federal and local laws and university policies. The vision, set forth by a task force, is that the cultures of all ASPPH-member schools and programs of public health will be free of any forms of harassment and discrimination. The statement is based on a public health approach to support long-term culture change with a focus on prevention. Proposed Tenets for Developing Zero-Tolerance Strategies ASPPH proposed five tenets that can be used by organizations to develop zero-tolerance strategies towards harrassment and discrimination. • • • • •

Anti-harassment and anti-discrimination poilcies and trainings Identifying and reporting harassment and discrimination Protecting victims of harassment and discrimination Communicating transparency Shifting the culture

PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTS: "RACIAL/ETHNIC DIVERSITY IN ACADEMIC PUBLIC HEALTH - 20-YEAR UPDATE" A task force examined data on the race/ethnicity of students, graduates, and faculty among ASPPH-member institutions during 2016-2017 and how these data have changed in the past 20 years. The results, published in the article, Public Health Reports: Racial/Ethnic Diversity in Academic Public Health - 20-Year Update, found that the increasing racial/ ethnic diversity among students, graduates, and faculty in schools and programs of public health contributes to parallel increases in racial/ethnic diversity in the public health workforce. Schools and programs of public health should recruit clusters of racial/ethnic minority students using holistic application review processes, provide enrolled students with racially/ethnically diverse role models and mentors, and dedicate staffing to ensure a student-centered approach. In addition, those who mentor racially/ethnically diverse students and junior faculty should be rewarded.

"My being in academia is me trying to be a part of the solution of diversifying our faculty. And I hope when I walk into a classroom, I change how my students think a biostatistics professor looks." Hilary Godwin

Dean, University of Washington School of Public Health

400 YEARS OF INEQUALITY ASPPH and members joined a diverse coalition of communities and organizations across the country to call upon families, friends, communities, and institutions to understand and address the deep divisions and inequalities 400 years of oppression has created in our social infrastructure. ASPPH presented a webinar, “400 Years of Inequality – A Public Health Perspective to Eliminate Racial Disparities,” to address the inequalities and health disparities brought about by the institution of slavery in this country. The webinar explored why schools and programs of public health should be teaching the history of the past while looking to the future.

Listen to the panelists' discussion about the inequalities and health disparities brought about by the institution of slavery in the United States, with a specific focus on mass incarceration as an important social determinant of health by visiting ASPPH.org/events.

Health begins in our communities. Everyone deserves equal opportunities to access quality healthcare and make choices that lead to good health, but not all get this chance. The division that was created 400 years ago is still prevalent today when there is not equal access to healthcare and resources to encourage a healthy lifestyle. Join the 400 Years of Inequality movement and help us educate our community about the importance of bridging these divides. #ThisIsPublicHealth #ASPPHadvocates #400yearsofinequality

Whether or not people are healthy is heavily influenced by social, physical, and economic environments. These factors impact an individual’s success in education. Inequities in the quality and availability of education contribute to the difficulty some may face in the progression of education and to the unequal distribution of academic resources, school funding, qualified and experienced teachers, books, and technologies to socially excluded communities that are historically disadvantaged and oppressed. Join the 400 Years of Inequality movement and take a stand to improve the quality of education for those across the country. #ThisIsPublicHealth #ASPPHadvocates #400yearsofinequality

The environment in which you live directly affects your health. The ability to access safe, quality, and affordable housing – and the means to maintain housing – is a powerful social determinant of health. As part of the 400 Years of Inequality movement, we remain committed to working towards a healthier nation. #ThisIsPublicHealth #ASPPHadvocates #400yearsofinequality

SPOTLIGHT ON FELLOWS Melissa Daily and Nandi Taylor are both second-year ASPPH/National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Public Health Fellows at the US Department of Transportation. During their first year as fellows, they recognized that seat belt use among Americans had increased significantly over the past several decades. However, seat belt use among rear seat passengers remained much lower than front seat occupants. After hearing about this discrepancy, they conducted a study to identify factors that predict self-reported rear seat belt use among adult back seat passengers. The research showed that age, education, front seat belt use, support of rear seat belt laws, belief in the existence of rear seat belt laws, and nighttime seat belt use were significantly associated with rear seat belt use.

They hope that these conclusions will lead to future research on this topic and will be used to design interventions that specifically address back seat passengers and ultimately increase belt use in all seating positions at all times.

POLICY AND ADVOCACY In the First Session of 116th Congress – 2019 – the term “public health” appeared in: 876 bills, 77 Congressional resolutions, 862 Congressional Record speeches or submissions, and 1,940 Federal Register documents, including 509 rules and 409 proposed rules. Given the intense interest in public health by Congress and executive branch agencies, ASPPH has established a rigorous priority-setting process, overseen by the ASPPH Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, and the Advocacy Committee. ASPPH’s advocacy program seeks to affect legislation and regulations that impact academic public health, and its faculty, staff, and students. The program also seeks to give voice to the concerns of the academic public health community, actively engage in coalition activities, and to serve as a vital information resource to our member institutions and their leadership on policy matters.

ASPPH’S APPROPRIATIONS PRIORITIES FUNDED The fiscal year 2020 appropriations bills were enacted in late December, almost three months into the fiscal year. All of ASPPH’s appropriations priorities were funded, including several center programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) that the Trump administration proposed for elimination. The final funding agreement provides large increases to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (+6.65%), CDC (+8.7%) and HRSA (+2.8%). The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality was level funded. Other ASPPH priority programs were funded as follows:

$80.76

$26.46

PRIORITY SETTINGS Gun Violence Research Funding

The final FY 2020 spending bill provided $25 million in dedicated funding for gun violence research. Restoring funding for such research has been strongly supported by ASPPH, which has been a leading coalition participant in efforts to restore funding after a two-decade funding drought. The lack of research funding was largely caused by the so-called “Dickey Amendment,” an annual appropriations bill rider that while not explicitly banning gun violence research funding, cast a pall on the field. For the first time in decades, the agreement includes explicit funding for “firearm injury and mortality prevention research” within the CDC and NIH. The bill requires the CDC and the NIH to each spend at least $12.5 million on such research.

ASPPH Opposes EPA Research Exclusion Effort

Letters signed by 60 deans and program directors were sent on November 26 to President Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler expressing strong opposition to an administration proposal that would restrict the use of some scientific research in considering regulatory proposals. The public health leaders wrote, “Far from making science more transparent, efforts to block the consideration of studies that rely on confidential patient information from being used in EPA’s policymaking is a disservice to the American public.” The letters conclude, “We strongly urge the administration and the EPA to withdraw its proposal to restrict scientific research and follow the current, effective measures in place to ensure the use of robust, uncensored scientific research to protect the health of our citizens and our communities.” The Administration’s proposal is currently under review at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

Age for Legal Purchase of Tobacco Products Raised to 21

The final FY 2020 spending bill also increases the legal age to purchase tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, to 21. However, the final bill did not include any provision related to tobacco flavoring. ASPPH has earlier endorsed stand-alone legislation to both raise the tobacco purchasing age and to ban tobacco and e-cigarette flavorings, including menthol.

Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund Reauthorized for Ten Years

Congress passed a 10-year reauthorization of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Trust Fund. The Trust Fund receives revenues from a tax on health insurance providers based on the number of lives they cover. The bulk of the Trust Fund is directed to the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institutes (PCORI). Additional Trust Fund resources are directed to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to fund training awards. ASPPH is an active member of the PCOR-reauthorization coalition.

Friend of the Court Brief Filed in DACA Case

In December, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The program allows undocumented young adults who came to the United States as children to apply for protection from deportation. During the arguments, it was stated that the DACA program protects nearly 800,000 young people brought to the United States as children. Approximately 350,000 of these young people are enrolled in high school or university programs. Justice Stephen Breyer said he had his clerk tally up the organizations whose reliance interests had not been considered by the Administration and listed health care, education, labor unions, military, homebuilders, states, municipalities, religious, and business. ASPPH and more than two dozen other public health and medical groups filed a friend of the court brief in the case. The brief focused extensively on the reliance issue.

Call to Action on Climate Health and Equity

ASPPH joined other public health and medical associations in issuing a call to action on climate health and equity. The organizations asserted, “Climate change is a health emergency. We call on local, state, and national leaders to act now to stop climate pollution, promote resilient communities, and support healthy people in healthy places on a healthy planet.” ASPPH also became the first non-profit association member of the Global Consortium on Climate and Health Education (GCCHE).

LETTERS AND COALITION ACTIVITIES Agency Comment Letters

Either alone or in collaboration with allied organization, ASPPH filed numerous comment letters on proposed regulatory actions by the Trump Administration in 2019: • In opposition to a proposed executive order that would make all journal articles funded by federal agencies immediately available freely to the public, overriding the current one-year embargo on mandated open-access • On the Prevention X proposal, which is focused on effective chronic disease prevention in the US • On the FDA’s proposed rule governing the submission and evaluation of applications for the marketing of new tobacco products • To the EPA on proposed amendments to the source performance standards for the oil and natural gas industries • On the Dept. of Education’s notice for collecting information about gifts and contracts from foreign sources • To the NIH on the legislative requirement that the advisory committees of the NIH institutes and centers include two individuals who are leaders in the fields of public health and the behavioral or social sciences • On the FDA’s proposal to establish new health warnings for cigarette packages and advertisements • In opposition to the EPA’s proposed new emission standards for coal- and oil-fired electric generating plants • On the NIH’s proposed new definition for “behavioral and social science research” • On the draft Healthy People 2030 report and recommendations • To the Secretaries of HHS and the Dept. of Homeland Security urging that the administration reconsider its decision not to provide flu vaccines to families in the custody of US Customs and Border Protection

• • •

To the EPA on the proposed amendment to reclassify major sources as area sources under the Clean Air Act To the Dept. of Education voicing concerns about the operation of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program To the US Trade Representative in opposition to trade agreement provisions that allow for tobacco company litigation to block legislation or regulations to protect citizens from death and disease caused by tobacco products

Letters to Congress

In addition to meeting with dozens of Congressional offices, ASPPH took formal positions in support or opposition to various pieces of legislation affecting public health: • Endorsed several bills that seek to end the vaping epidemic, raise the age of purchase for tobacco products to 21, and ban flavored products from the market • Various letters on the appropriations process and funding allocation decisions • Statements to various committees concerning EPA’s anti-science regulatory agenda • In support of the reauthorization of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Trust Fund • Endorsed legislation to advance research on cannabidiol and marijuana • In support of legislation to expand and adequately fund the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps • In support of legislation to provide healthcare access to people of all immigration statuses • In support of federal graduate education investments • In support of legislation providing DACA program participants with a pathway to citizenship • In support of funding for the CDC so it can modernize its health information technology infrastructure • In support of legislation making graduate students eligible to receive Federal Direct Subsidized Loans • In support of legislation to restore funding to the Prevention and Public Health Fund • Endorsed Legislation to fund vaccine awareness campaigns and to counter vaccine hesitancy and misinformation • Endorsed the International Climate Accountability Act, the Climate Action Now Act, and the Climate Change Health Protection and Promotion Act • In support of final Congressional action to enact the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act • In support of funding to address the infectious disease impacts of the opioid epidemic • In support of tobacco company user fees to support FDA’s tobacco regulatory efforts • In support of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program and calling for Congressional oversight of the Department of Education’s management of the program

Legal Action

ASPPH joined two friend of the court legal briefs in 2019 • ASPPH joined with the Drug Policy Alliance and several other organizations in filing a friend of the court brief in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania regarding the legality of supervised consumption sites (SCSs) — a harm reduction strategy that allows the supervised use of illegal controlled substances in order to prevent overdose deaths and save lives. The brief reviews the evidence that SCSs work, both to reduce deaths and as a pathway to treatment. The brief also argues that the US Department of Justice’s efforts to use the “crack house” statute to ban SCSs is inappropriate and that such sites fall squarely within the goals of the Controlled Substances Act of 1971. • ASPPH and more than two dozen other public health and medical groups filed a friend of the court brief with the US Supreme Court in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program case. The brief focused extensively on the reliance issue.

ACADEMIC PUBLIC HEALTH LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE In 2019 ASPPH began offering leadership development opportunities for our members through the Academic Public Health Leadership Institute (APHLI). The inaugural offering, the Leadership Program for Deans and Directors, is a year-long, cohort-based program for deans or directors who have been in the role five years or less. This program started in July 2019 with 17 scholars participating, and will conclude in July 2020. Through real-world case studies, small group discussions, interactive presentations, and other immersive experiences, scholars of the Leadership Program for Deans and Directors are advancing their leadership knowledge and practice. The next APHLI offering, the Advanced Leadership Program, is specifically designed for academic public health professionals at member institutions in senior roles such as associate and assistant deans, department chairs, and function leaders. The Advanced Leadership Program will begin in June 2020.
