Health Equity and Social Determinants of Health: A Conversation with the MCH Evidence Center

Decorative image of magnifying glassWhile the emphasis of our work has been researching effective strategies to advance the NPMs, we have known intrinsically – and have experienced through our work with Title V agencies in the states and jurisdictions – that no meaningful discussion of WHAT WORKS can happen without thinking of how our work contributes to addressing disparities and is conducted with awareness of the social settings that affect MCH populations.

There have been increasing requests from states and jurisdictions to the Evidence Center on how to address their issues regarding health equity, using evidence-based measures. This video series presents a conversational approach to what the Evidence Center found from the evidence base on how to address health equity, as well as examples of what Title V agencies have requested, and the assistance provided.
