The main factor that determines both health and educational outcomes is socio-economic status. By investing in good quality, accessible education –…February 2020Early Childhood Education

Health care organizations can avoid reinventing the wheel by leveraging community partnerships to address social determinants of health that are beyond the direct reach of health care. The following case story is adapted from IHI’s Improving Health…January 2020Policy and Practice
- Pregnancy-related deaths among American women have risen markedly over the past 30 years, despite an overall downward trend worldwide. Many of these deaths are preventable, and the risk remains three to four times higher for black women than white women at all levels of income or education. Maternal mortality—a key measure of health care quality—is typically defined as the death of a woman during…January 2020Maternal Morbidity and Mortality

But when it comes to our own Youth MOVE chapter members or youth advocates on the ground, there seems to be a disconnect. Let us tell you once and for all: being a…June 2019Advocacy
- Our work is based on the idea that health and education outcomes are intrinsically linked. We seek to improve these outcomes collectively and across multiple projects. We developed ETR’s Health Equity Framework to help us, and others, think about improving interrelated outcomes from multiple, overlapping perspectives.

- The Spectrum of Community Engagement to Ownership charts a pathway to strengthen and transform our local democracies. Thriving, diverse, equitable communities are possible through deep participation, particularly by communities commonly excluded from democratic voice & power. The stronger our local democracies, the more capacity we can unleash to address our toughest challenges, and the more…January 2019Community-rooted/Participatory Research
- The Sphere philosophy is based on two core beliefs: People affected by disaster or conflict have the right to life with dignity and, therefore, the right to assistance; and All possible steps should be taken to alleviate human suffering arising out of disaster or conflict. The Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards put these core beliefs into practice. The Protection Principles inform all…November 2018Policy and Practice
- The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide guidance to hiring managers seeking to diversify their sustainability staff by applying an equity lens. Recent and historical studies have shown that sustainability and environmental fields lag in their ability to recruit, hire, and retain employees of color. This can be due to a variety of systemic factors including access to social and professional…October 2018Isms and Phobias
