- The number of years spent in formal education is closely related to health outcomes, both amongst individuals and across populations. Equally, health status in early years and later in life affects our ability to participate in education and society. 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
- People with higher levels of education are more likely to be healthier and live longer. Healthy People 2030 focuses on providing high-quality educational opportunities for children and adolescents — and on helping them do well in school. Children from low-income families, children with disabilities, and children who routinely experience forms of social discrimination — like bullying — are more…January 2020Early Childhood Education, High School Graduation, Classism
- Our health is influenced by where we live, learn, work, and play. The economic, political, structural, and cultural factors that interact in our homes, schools, workplaces, and communities influence food security, safety, employment, physical activity, and family and community support. In resource-rich communities, these determinants help to protect health, well-being, and student achievement. In…August 2019Early Childhood Education
- 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 examine literature in seven topic areas: collaborative care, early psychosis, school-based…March 2019Mental/Behavioral Health, Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Interventions
- An unprecedented OECD survey of more than 140 foundations working for development revealed that philanthropies targeted the health and reproductive sector above all else. With contributions of USD 12.6 billion between 2013 and 2015, foundations ranked third in the leading sources of funding for health and reproductive health, just after the United States and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,…January 2019Interventions
- With the recognition that social factors contribute significantly to poor health outcomes and unnecessary spending, particularly among low-income individuals, health care (HC) and community-based organizations (CBOs) across the country are entering into partnerships that aim to address the social determinants of health (SDOH). These partnerships are bringing together health systems and CBOs in…August 2018Interventions, Social/Structural Determinants
- Adults with higher educational attainment live healthier and longer lives compared to their less educated peers. The disparities are large and widening. We posit that understanding the educational and macro-level contexts in which this association occurs is key to reducing health disparities and improving population health. In this paper, we briefly review and critically assess the current state…January 2018Postsecondary Education
- Build alliances with community partners to protect against risk and build community power. Health departments play a convening role that can be used to advance health equity. Community partners and the health department can develop alliances or networks that collectively and powerfully advance equity by increasing awareness, advocating for policy and systems change, and ensuring accountability.…June 2017Community-rooted/Participatory Research, Interventions
