Avoidable deaths are rising in the U.S. while they’re decreasing in other high-income nations. It’s a worrisome trend, which is partly responsible for the growing gap in life expectancy between the U.S. and its peers.

A study by researchers at the Brown University School of Public Health found that avoidable mortality rose across all U.S. states from 2009 to 2021, while it declined in most other high-income countries.
A discussion comparing health policy challenges facing the U.S. to those faced by other high-income countries illustrated how the Center for Health System Sustainability aims to improve health care systems through research.
