Health Equity: From Lens to Science
The "Health Equity: From Lens to Science" symposium aims to lay the foundation for creating a structured approach to embed health equity in research, starting from its foundational concepts to its broad application. While health equity is a broadly used term, it can suffer from a lack of rigor and clarity around principles and strategies underlying the concept. The virtual symposium will feature keynote speaker Dr. Derek Griffith on the “lens" of health equity in research, followed by panel discussions on data and action related to health equity science.
The symposium will bring together leaders and learners representing academics, health practitioners, policy experts, elected officials, epidemiologists, data scientists, sponsors, thought leaders, community members and leaders, and other stakeholders working on health, public health and health equity issues.
