The U.S. Supreme Court’s watershed decision on homelessness Friday will make it easier for elected officials and law enforcement authorities nationwide to fine and arrest people who live on streets and sidewalks, in broken-down vehicles, or within city parks — which could have far-reaching health consequences for homeless Americans and their communities. In a 6-to-3 ruling in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, the justices in the majority said allowing the targeting of homeless people occupying public spaces by enforcing bans on public sleeping or camping with criminal or civil penalties is not c...

Sheila Vakharia, who now works for the Drug Policy Alliance, began her career as a clinical social worker at a conventional addiction treatment center, where she soon became disenchanted. "Few of my clients attended treatment voluntarily, most did not think they had a drug problem, and most never completed the program," she recalls in her new book The Harm Reduction Gap, "because they could not maintain abstinence and comply with our tight structure," which included regular urine testing that she was required to supervise, much to her dismay. Vakharia's next job, at a program that provided ste...

Chris Rosson, president and CEO of the United Way of Greater Kansas City, said the payouts will help these survivors even while recognizing that gun violence like the Feb. 14 shootings happens in Kansas City every day, typically in low-income communities that are already under-resourced. “When launchin...

Heatwave warnings are already coming thick and fast across Europe this summer, as experts predict another record-hot year driven by climate change. But it can be hard to gauge how dangerous they are to you in particular. A new tool seeks to bridge that gap by forecasting how likely you are to die when hot weather hits different places in Europe. The data is based on age and sex. Around 70,000 people died from heat-related causes during summer 2022 in Europe, according to researchers at the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal). The same team has taken past mortality data and combine...

SACRAMENTO — A federal judge has found top California prison officials in civil contempt for failing to hire enough mental health professionals to adequately treat tens of thousands of incarcerated people with serious mental disorders.
