AzPHA Stands Against Racism
AzPHA Board of Director’s Statement
June 1, 2020
For decades, public health research has recognized racism and discrimination (or systemic violence) as fundamental causes of health disparities and inequities. It is time to move beyond silence, guilt, denial, and shock and accept our individual and collective roles in acting to demolish these centuries old systems of oppression.
As leaders in public health, we accept our responsibility in dismantling the systems of oppression that have long afforded many of us privilege and comfort. AzPHA is committed to working with our board and membership to integrate anti-racist education and actionable strategies for eliminating racism in order to realize health equity. In alignment with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and APHA’s call for racial healing, we commit to intentionally engaging people from all racial and ethnic groups in order to build understanding, communication, compassion, and respect for one another.
Recognizing that complacency upholds the status quo, we have work to do. The drivers of structural inequality and race-based violence are not “out there,” or “with them,” they are baked into our own workplaces, associations, neighborhoods, families, and minds. And it’s our responsibility and our obligation as public servants to hold a light to injustice and to confront our biases.
As Arizona’s independent voice for public health, we commit to being accountable to our members and all Arizonans for confronting the myriad ways racism persists in public health and health care.
ASU Biodesign Develops Accurate Diagnostic Saliva-based COVID Test
One of the big challenges with the US’ COVID response has been the lack of testing capacity. In part, those challenges hve been as a result of supply chain issues with the test kits- but also because the test is invasive and requires personal protective equipment. A new test that would be easy to use would make a real difference.
For the past couple of weeks, ASU’s Biodesign Institute has been pilot testing the saliva-based test. They have been using comparing results with their new self-administered saliva test to results using the classic nasal swab test.
So far, they’ve found that the saliva-based tests were just as good, if not even better, as those collected from nasal swab tests.
The saliva test is as simple as spitting into a screw-top tube through a straw, making testing way easier and also improving the supply of test kits and bringing the cost of testing.
