Why do these changes matter to health?
Life expectancies at birth, by census tract (2005-09)
Anoka County Ramsey County Scott County Dakota County Carver County Hennepin County Washington County
There are pervasive health inequities in Minnesota
Health outcomes tend to be worse for residents who live in poorer neighborhoods
Life expectancy by poverty rate group of census tracts Twin Cities 7-county metro (2005-09)
76.5 81.8 82.4 83.1
20.0% or higher 10.0% - 19.9% 4.0% - 9.9% 2.0% - 3.9% Less than 2.0%
79.3 Average life expectancy 81.0
Percentage of households living below poverty
Structural racism is a leading factor contributing to health inequities

- Infant deaths for African American and American
Indian babies are twice the rate of white babies
- Obesity rates are highest among American Indian,
Hispanic/Latino, and African American youth
- 9th grade students who receive free/reduced-price
lunch are less likely to report their health as “very good” or “excellent”
- On multiple measures of health, outcomes are
poorer for residents in rural Minnesota counties

Health inequities are avoidable differences in health between groups of people that result form systematic differences and social conditions and processes that determine health. Health inequities are avoidable, unjust, and therefore actionable. Health equity is achieved when every person has the opportunity to realize their health potential – the highest level of health possible for that person – without limits imposed by structural inequities.
Health inequities are unjust and avoidable
- Structural inequities: Decisions that benefit one
population at the expense of others
- Structural racism: The normalization of an array
- f dynamics – historical, cultural, institutional,
and interpersonal – that routinely advantage white people while producing cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color and American Indians

Structural racism contributes to inequities

What does it mean to improve food access using a health equity lens?
- Impacts 25,000 Minnesotans (~10% of households)
- Often, occasional and episodic
- Tends to be more common in households:
– With lower annual household incomes – With children – Headed by a single parent – Headed by a Black or Hispanic adult – Located in rural (non-metropolitan) areas
Food insecurity in Minnesota
Source: United States Department of Agriculture, 2014
- The number of SNAP-eligible has increased
– 281,674 in 2006 554,940 in 2013
- 395,552 eligible for SNAP* in 2014
– 41% children – 21% adults age 60+
- 66% eligible for SNAP are enrolled, an increase
from 46% in 2008
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Source: Minnesota Department of Human Services, 2015 * SNAP-only (excluding MFIP-eligible)
- Expanded utilization of SNAP by:
– Better outreach to SNAP-eligible households – Increased acceptance of SNAP benefit at farmer’s markets; incentive programs – Expansion of SNAP eligibility requirements
- Food pantries at schools, health care clinics
- State policies that increase affordable housing
- ptions, livable wage jobs, affordable childcare
- ptions, post-high school education options

- Changes to city park and recreation/school lunch,
vending, sponsorship policies
- Changes to convenience store inventory
- Location of grocery stores, farmers markets
– City zoning decisions, co-located grocery stores – Local farmers markets, Twin Cities Mobile Market
Examples of efforts to improve food access
- What information does your organization need to
initiate discussion and encourage action to advance health equity? Is there a common language and shared vision within the
- rganization?
- In your community, what are the systems in
place that impact food access? Who benefits? Who is negatively impacted?
Questions to ask
- How are impacted populations involved in
shaping actions to improve food access and advance equity?
- Who are your partners? How can you foster
cross-sector collaboration?
