DAY 4 PANEL 1: Ensuring Equity Across Life Course Office of Health Equity, DC Health Speakers: Dr. Autumn Saxton-Ross; Dr. Anneta Arno; Dr. Erica McClaskey, Linda Elam Description: Too often, consideration of maternal and infant health is assumed to be relevant only during a relatively short and limited time period; typically while pregnant, or at best, throughout childbearing years.
Join this critical dialogue and learning session as we consider the lived reality of women, girls, babies and families in a more holistic unpacking of the impacts of social and structural determinants of health, including intergenerational trauma, in shaping differential opportunities for health, and inequitable health outcomes from birth, across the entire life course, including quality of life and length of life itself! Theme(s): Racial Disparities, Social Determinants of Health
