Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science - IAPHS

Interdisciplinary Association for Population Health Science - IAPHS Fostering scientific innovation and discovery to improve the health of populations and reduce health disparities.

The mission of IAPHS is to improve the health of populations by advancing and communicating population health science. The IAPHS achieves its mission by:

- Supporting conferences, workshops, and resources that create a shared professional space for scientists from different disciplinary backgrounds, fostering communication and collaboration to strengthen research addressing complex population hea

lth problems involving multiple systems, and supporting the professional development of early-career population health scientists;

- Providing opportunities for scientists to connect with stakeholders, decision-makers and practitioners to encourage knowledge exchange that can improve both research and evidence-based strategies for population health improvement; and

- Increasing the visibility of population health science by communicating advances in scientific knowledge to multiple audiences and promoting the importance of population health research.

"New research from the University of Washington shows that the City of Seattle’s Fresh Bucks program can improve fruit and vegetable intake and food security among low-income populations by providing financial support for buying healthy food.

The Fresh Bucks program works with local partners to help Seattle residents access healthy food. The program accepts applications from Seattle households with income less than 80% of the area median — $110,950 for a family of four in 2024. Recipients can use the $40 per month benefit to purchase fruits and vegetables at more than 40 retail locations throughout Seattle, including farmers markets, Safeway stores and independently owned grocery stores.

The study, published Aug. 19 in JAMA Network Open, shows that Fresh Bucks households experience a 31% higher rate of food security and consume at least three daily servings of fruits and vegetables 37% more often than those assigned to a program waitlist."
