    How inequality was forged, fought over, and forgotten through public policy in metropolitan Chicago. As in many American metropolitan areas, inequality in Chicagoland is visible in its neighborhoods. These inequalities are not inevitable, however. They have been constructed and deepened by public policies around housing, schooling, taxation, and local governance, including hidden state government policies.In Structuring Inequality, historian Tracy L. Steffes shows how metropolitan inequality in Chicagoland was structured, contested, and naturalized over time even as reformers tried to change it through school desegregation, affordable housing, and property tax reform. While these efforts had modest successes in the city and the suburbs, reformers faced significant resistance and counter-mobilization from affluent suburbanites, real estate developers, and other defenders of the status quo who defended inequality and reshaped the policy conversation about it. Grounded in comprehensive archival research and policy analysis, Structuring Inequality examines the history of Chicagoland’s established systems of inequality and provides perspective on the inequality we live with today.

    The evolution of chiropractic practices reflects a broader trend towards integrating alternative and complementary therapies into mainstream healthcare, emphasizing a more holistic and patient-centered approach. 
    Evidence-based practice (EBP) in healthcare, including chiropractic care, involves integrating the best available research evidence with clinical expertise and patient preferences to make informed decisions about patient care. This approach aims to ensure that treatments and interventions are effective, safe, and tailored to individual patient needs. 
      
    EBP relies on three main components: the best available research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient preferences and values. The best available research evidence refers to high-quality, peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials that provide reliable data on the effectiveness and safety of various treatments and interventions. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are particularly valuable as they synthesize findings from multiple studies, offering a comprehensive overview of the evidence. 
      
    Clinical expertise encompasses the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals in interpreting research evidence and applying it to individual patient cases. It involves understanding the nuances of different conditions, recognizing which treatments are most appropriate, and adapting interventions based on patient responses.
