2020 Labelle Lecture: Saving Black Women and Babies: Leveraging Data and Community Engagement to Achieve Health Equity

The 2020 Labelle Lecture, entitled “Saving Black Women and Babies: Leveraging Data and Community Engagement to Achieve Health Equity,” will be presented virtually Dr. Tiffany Green, an economist and population health scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an expert in racial/ethnic and nativity disparities in reproductive health. Dr. Green will draw from her research into understanding the individual-, family-, and structural-level determinants of disparities in women’s health and birth outcomes. Her mission is to shed light on how and why Black women, regardless of socio-economic status, experience the worst maternal and child birth outcomes of any racial/ethnic group – and what evidence-based solutions might ameliorate these persistent inequalities in health and wellbeing. The Lecture discussant is Dr. Andrew Pinto, Founder and Director of Upstream Lab. He is also a Public Health and Preventative Medicine Specialist at St. Michael’s Hospital and an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto.
