ABOUT JOHN'S WORK
John Rich is a physician, scholar, and a leader in addressing the health care needs of one of the nation’s most ignored and underserved populations—African-American men in urban settings. By linking economic health, mental health, and educational and employment opportunities to physical well-being, Rich’s work on black men’s health is influencing policy discussions and health practice throughout the United States. He has created clinical programs that promote health by addressing overall wellness, recognizing that young, urban men of color face especially difficult challenges in accessing health care. Taking an original approach to social epidemiology, he conducts in-depth personal interviews with young black men to understand and underscore the contextual details attending prevalent illnesses and the cycle of violence that creates recurrent injury risk. Among his many interventions, Rich established the Young Men’s Health Clinic at the Boston Medical Center, which provides primary care to men ages seventeen to twenty-nine, many of whom are victims of urban violence. He also initiated the Boston HealthCREW, a community health-worker training program for young black men to conduct peer outreach in general health education and men’s reproductive health. By focusing on the realities of the lives of young African-American men, John Rich designs new models of health care that stretch across the boundaries of public health, education, social service, and justice systems to engage young men in caring for themselves and their peers.

关于约翰的工作
约翰-里奇是一位医生、学者，也是解决美国最被忽视和服务不足的人群之一--城市环境中的非裔美国人的医疗保健需求的领导者。通过将经济健康、心理健康、教育和就业机会与身体健康联系起来，里奇关于黑人男性健康的工作正在影响整个美国的政策讨论和健康实践。他创建了临床项目，通过解决整体健康问题来促进健康，并认识到年轻的城市有色人种男性在获得医疗保健方面面临着特别困难的挑战。他对社会流行病学采取了一种独创的方法，对年轻的黑人男子进行深入的个人访谈，以了解和强调流行疾病的背景细节和造成反复伤害风险的暴力循环。在他的许多干预措施中，里奇在波士顿医疗中心设立了青年男子健康诊所，为17至29岁的男子提供初级保健，其中许多人是城市暴力的受害者。他还发起了波士顿HealthCREW，这是一个社区卫生工作者培训计划，为年轻的黑人男子提供一般健康教育和男性生殖健康方面的同伴宣传。通过关注非裔美国青年男子的生活现实，约翰-里奇设计了新的医疗保健模式，跨越了公共卫生、教育、社会服务和司法系统的界限，让青年男子参与到对自己和同伴的关怀中。
