The Equity Equation
The Equity Equation webinar series examines health equity issues and highlights policy and systems-level solutions in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia.
Through this series we aim to:
- Highlight pressing and emerging public health issues that have significant impact on health equity and racial justice.
- Draw connections between regional health outcomes, health inequities and root causes such as racism, sexism, classism, etc.
- Analyze the implications of past, present and/or proposed policies on the health of specific communities or population health in our region.
- Identify potential policy and systems strategies that target the social determinants of health and their distribution among communities and populations to reduce inequities.
