What is health equity? The CDC describes it as “the state in which everyone has a fair and just opportunity to attain their highest level of health.” This includes everyone. CHIBE believes health equity is a fundamental challenge for all people, not just certain groups. Here at CHIBE, our faculty and staff are investigating ways for everyone to have the same opportunity to be healthy by looking at systemic and structural issues, as well as other factors.
CHIBE believes that achieving health equity is possible despite the complexities involved. Read more about the various ways our research teams and labs are striving for health equity through interventions, analyses, and more on this page.
