Talk:Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

Logo update and possible additions
Hello everyone! This is Erin from RWJF with some follow-up requests. As a reminder, I don't edit the article myself because I have a COI.


 * 1) I found this updated and higher quality logo on Wikimedia Commons, would it be possible to replace the current logo in the infobox?
 * 2) There were a few things I left out of the article rewrite I worked on because I wasn't sure if they met the criteria for inclusion. Would editors mind taking a look at these and letting me know if any can be added? If so, I can draft up language for review:
 * The foundation's support for development of the Chronic Care Model
 * Our work with Boston University on a COVID-19 database
 * Research on health effects of racism with David Williams
 * RWJF's teleconferences on COVID-19 and discrimination against Asian and Pacific Islander Americans and on COVID-19 exacerbating racial health disparities
 * Lastly, the article mentions some of our poll work with NPR and Harvard, would it be reasonable to add a more specific mention of them and their use across mainstream media?

Since you are familiar with the article, I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at these requests.

A great big thanks for all the support with improving the article and helping me understand Wikipedia better! Erimkelly (talk) 15:47, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi The logo has been updated. I looked through the pages of some of the foundations listed here, and to answer your question about including additional content, anything that relates to the history, leadership/governance, activities/initiatives/programs, funding, awards or criticisms of the Foundation would be okay to add.

 * Thanks for updating the logo and the content advice. Based on what you said, I have a few additions to suggest.
 * In 1986 - 2001: replace "Apart from substance abuse, the foundation also funded studies on palliative and chronic care." with "Apart from substance abuse, the foundation also funded studies on palliative care and worked with researchers to develop the chronic care model. "
 * Add to 2002 - 2017: A 2017 survey conducted by RWJF, NPR, and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that people in America report that their personal experience with discrimination regularly affects their lives and drives decisions that influence their health, safety, and well-being. Experiences with discrimination correlated to an increased risk for health conditions such as coronary heart disease. In 2018, the foundation co-funded a study along with the National Institutes of Health that found police killings of unarmed black Americans led to adverse mental health affects among black American respondents. Other public opinion polls RWJF worked on with NPR and Harvard University have covered issues such as the burden of stress in America (2014), education and health in schools (2013), trust in public health (2021), income inequality (2020), and experiences during the pandemic (2021).
 * Add to 2018 - present: The foundation's other activities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic included collaborating with Boston University to develop a database of state policies enacted in response to the pandemic, and hosting teleconferences and virtual discussions on how the pandemic unveiled the impact that systemic racism and other forms of discrimination have on health in America.


 * Thanks again, your help has been amazing. Erimkelly (talk) 13:59, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
