- To use evidence on addressing racism in social care intervention research to create a framework for advancing health equity for all populations with marginalized social identities (e.g., race, gender, and sexual orientation).

- The language used to describe equity, and the people living with inequities both reflects and influences the way we think and act on the structural and social determinants of health. Intentional consideration of the words and terms we use to describe equity issues is important to build a societal and organizational culture that supports action to address population health inequities. This curated…January 2023Social Environment
- Where we live shouldn’t determine how long or how well we live. Everyone should have the same opportunity to live the healthiest life possible but, in many areas across the country, persistent and systemic barriers to health and opportunity exist. Most data on health, the drivers of health, and health equity are organized at the county, state, or, more recently, city level. In contrast, data…January 2023Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Social Environment
