Research Approach

Our research and evaluation projects are directly informed by and address health needs of vulnerable groups, including but not limited to women, children, and racial/ethnic, gender and sexual minorities affected by profound health disparities. Our research questions arise from gaps we encounter in knowledge, practice, and inequitable health outcomes.
