AAMC CHARGE Investigates—A Call for Research
Application Deadline: March 4, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. ET
Informational Webinar Now Available
The link between public opinion and health equity topics remains largely unexplored compared to more traditional sources of information like health surveys and administrative data. But the inclusion of the public’s opinion in health equity research is vital, as opinions influence and are influenced by the norms and policies through which we carry out our lives.
With AAMC CHARGE input, we designed a multi-topic health equity public opinion poll and surveyed a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. The results are now in with brand new opinion data about children's health, economic security, disability justice, and more! You're invited to apply for access to the polling data to conduct your own research for evidence-based solutions to achieve health equity. Check out the announcement and the informational webinar.
