Building the evidence base for policy and practice changes that address the root causes of health inequity.
Understanding why some communities are healthier than others requires focused research. Health equity research convenes experts, organizations, and community members to identify when these differences are caused by unfair treatment, measure the problem, understand why it’s happening, and develop evidence-based solutions tailor-made by and for the communities they’re meant to serve.
The Center’s health equity research provides crucial information for policymakers, institutions, and public health officials to make informed decisions about resources, programs, and policy changes that will make a difference in giving everyone the opportunity to be healthy.
