摘要内容如下：

在过去的20年里，美国总统选举的投票率从51.7%到66.9%不等。低投票率和不公平的选举制度，如不公正的选区划分，可能使政策决定偏向于较小群体的偏好，并进一步将历史上被边缘化和被排除在决策过程之外的个人和社区排除在外。通过投票倡议制定政策和选举将健康纳入其政纲的官员，投票与健康直接相关。它们之间也有间接联系，因为公民参与将个人与其社区联系起来，并赋予他们在决策中的代理权。在这份立场文件中，美国内科医师学会试图告知内科医师、医科学生和其他卫生保健专业人员选举程序与健康之间的联系。鼓励公民参与；并提供政策建议，支持安全和公平地参与选举，以促进患者和卫生保健专业人员的卫生公平。

Abstracts

During the past 2 decades, voter turnout in U.S. presidential elections has ranged from 51.7% to 66.9% of the eligible population. Low voter turnout rates and inequitable electoral institutions, such as gerrymandered districts, can skew policy decisions toward the preferences of a smaller group and further exclude individuals and communities who have been historically marginalized and excluded from decision-making processes. Voting and health are directly connected through the institution of policies by ballot initiative and the election of officials who incorporate health into their platforms. They are also indirectly connected, as civic participation connects persons to their community and empowers them with agency in decision making. In this position paper, the American College of Physicians seeks to inform physicians, medical students, and other health care professionals on the links between electoral processes and health; encourage civic participation; and offer policy recommendations to support safe and equitable access to electoral participation to advance health equity for both patients and health care professionals.
