WU-CDTR members contribute to special issue on strategies to advance healthcare equity

A new Health Services Research article, authored by Ana Bauman, PhD (WU-CDTR Member); Rachel Shelton, ScD, MPH (Columbia University); Shiriki Kumanyika, PhD, MPH (SDBA Lead); and Debra Haire-Joshu, PhD (WU-CDTR Director), highlights how D&I science can provide rigorous approaches and methods for advancing healthcare equity.

The article, part of a special issue sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), includes four guiding principles (Figure 1) and three D&I science domains with strong promise for accelerating progress toward healthcare equity. The authors also presented eight recommendations (Figure 2) and more than 60 opportunities for action by practitioners, healthcare leaders, policy makers, and researchers.
