Multi-sector efforts to address the structural drivers of health inequities faced by racial and ethnic minority communities in the USA often ignore the potential of action by for-profit businesses, perhaps due to skepticism about the role of business in such efforts. However, given the need to harness diverse forms of capital to address structural harms, and recent calls to identify oft-ignored systemic pathways to health, we examined the role of business – specifically small, locally-owned businesses – in promoting community health and well-being. This study explored the role of small, locally owned businesses in community health, and local understandings of the value of such action, in the context of Roxbury, Massachusetts, a historically Black community with a substantial Latinx population. We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews between June and November 2021 with small business owners and staff, as well as leaders and staff from local non-profit organizations, anchor institutions, and one large business. Constructivist and critical perspectives guided the work. We used a team-based, thematic analysis approach; the team included residents and a small local business owner. Participants described pride in the neighborhood and emphasized small businesses’ contribution to long-term community well-being by investing social, cultural, human, and financial capital. Business owners saw their work as a way of giving back and did so in ways reflecting their deep understanding of community needs, aspirations, and identity. Public health efforts should engage pro-social small businesses embedded in marginalized communities, thereby supporting and amplifying businesses’ existing contributions to advancing equitable community health.

Freedom of information (FOI) laws are designed to increase transparency and political accountability. Where designed and implemented effectively, they can serve to catalyse public interest and democratic participation in politics, as well as exposing instances of corruption in, and influence over, the policy process (Fowler et al., 2013). A number of recent studies in the area of public health have drawn on data accessed through FOI requests (see for example: Lauber et al., 2021; Maani Hessari et al., 2019; Mitchell & McCambridge, 2023; Ralston, 2021; Robertson & Steele, 2023) including those published in the current journal (Glover et al., 2023; Sacks et al., 2018). Yet FOI laws remain underutilised as a research tool. This is due in part to the increasingly stringent application of disclosure exemptions within these laws. Below, we highlight examples of some of the difficulties encountered by health-policy researchers in the United Kingdom (UK) seeking to use FOI requests to access information held by public bodies, and the issues these raise for both scholarship and democratic oversight. While focused on the UK, these experiences are likely more widespread and of relevance to health and public policy researchers facing similar barriers in other contexts.
信息自由法旨在提高透明度和政治问责制。如果设计和实施有效，它们可以促进公众利益和政治民主参与，以及揭露政策过程中的腐败和影响(Fowler et al.， 2013)。最近在公共卫生领域的一些研究利用了通过信息自由请求获得的数据(例如:Lauber等人，2021年;Maani Hessari等人，2019;Mitchell & McCambridge, 2023;拉斯顿,2021;Robertson & Steele, 2023)，包括发表在当前期刊上的研究(Glover et al.， 2023;Sacks等人，2018)。然而，信息自由法作为一种研究工具仍未得到充分利用。这在一定程度上是由于这些法律对披露豁免的适用越来越严格。下面，我们将重点介绍联合王国卫生政策研究人员在寻求利用《信息自由法》请求获取公共机构持有的信息时遇到的一些困难，以及这些困难给学术研究和民主监督带来的问题。虽然这些经验主要集中在英国，但它们可能更为广泛，对在其他情况下面临类似障碍的卫生和公共政策研究人员也具有相关性。
