An ad hoc committee formed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will host a public webinar on September 9, 2022 from approximately 2:00pm-3:00pm ET and invites public input on federal policies that contribute to racial and ethnic health inequities, as well as potential solutions that could improve health equity. The committee is interested in hearing about lived experiences navigating federal programs and systems including barriers and solutions from community members and organizations.
- What are examples of federal policies that create racial and ethnic health disparities?
- What are examples of federal policies that promote racial and ethnic health equity?
- What are the most important considerations when prioritizing action regarding federal policies to advance racial and ethnic health equity?
