Commitment to Health Equity


Systemic and social inequities, including exposure to community violence, affect health and life potential. Addressing the root causes of injury, violence, and overdose requires considering the effects of the health inequities that arise from social and structural factors such as redlining, structural racism, localized poverty, limited social connectedness, and limited access to high-quality healthcare and early childhood education. IPRCE prioritizes structures, research, trainings, and activities that target inequities and support partners addressing these issues.
