Join the Center for Community Health Partnership & Research for the final event in a four-part series of Collaborative Café discussions on health equity and research. Panelists share key takeaways about equity- focused or disparity-focused research.
Policy and healthcare experts will discuss the implications of equity on healthcare policy, delivery, and access, including:
- Current focus areas and gaps in equity work in policy and healthcare
- Why equity-focused research design and data is important to good policy making, service delivery, and more
- Ways to turn data into equity-centered policy recommendations and digestible, actionable information
- How research teams can work collaboratively with community to disseminate data and work toward systemic changes
The Collaborative for Community-Centered Conversations — “Collaborative Café” — is hosted by the Center for Community Health Partnership & Research at the Institute for Public Health and Institute of Clinical & Translational Sciences.
