CRECS Noon-Hour Colloquium
From Evidence to Action: Data-Driven Solutions to Reducing Health Inequities
Jun 14, 2023 — All day
Dear member,
Join us on June 14 at noon EST for a session with Dr. Elizabeth (Betsy) Kristjansson (she), Professor at the School of Psychology at the University of Ottawa and Co-Principal Investigator of the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study, and Kady Carr (they), Manager of the Ottawa Neighbourhood Study. Their presentation is entitled “From Evidence to Action: Data-Driven Solutions to Reducing Health Inequities.”
Brief abstract
Evidence shows that the neighbourhoods and communities we live not only affect our health but can also reinforce the inequality in health between people who have money and those who do not. Given this, ONS sets out to understand the social determinants of health and the elements of a healthy community. Through research, mapping, analytics, and knowledge translation & transfer (KTT), ONS supports data-driven solutions aimed at reducing health inequities.
