1. Educational Equity IS Health Equity
-
By Amy Peterson, MSc | April 25, 2019
Strategic Development Manager, ETREducational equity is closely related to health equity. In fact I’d like to suggest that they are essentially inseparable—that educational equity isn’t merely an element of health equity, but that the two are inextricably linked. Put simply, one cannot exist without the other.
In 2014, I was among a group of colleagues who sought out a framework that would help us unify the work we were doing across ETR’s projects. We found that no existing framework covered all the aspects of our work so we adapted, developed and iterated to create ETR’s Health Equity Framework (HEF).

2. Equity in STEM: It Takes More Than Individual Determination
-
By Louise Ann Lyon, PhD | October 9, 2018
The mainstream culture in the U.S. values independence. As a nation, we esteem individual actions and view them as paths to success. “Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is an admirable trait.
However, that focus is not the full picture.

-
By Suzanne Schrag | August 31, 2018
JJ is 11 years old and on the way to school. JJ usually stops at the bodega to buy a candy bar for a snack. But today is different. This week JJ is learning in school about increasing your heart rate through physical activity to stay healthy. So, instead of stopping at the bodega, JJ runs around the block three times. JJ shows up to school a little sweaty but excited and energized.

4. Health Equity Framework in Practice: Communities Energized for Health
-
By Theresa Boschert, JD | June 12, 2018
I’d like to tell you a story about a woman I’ll call Minnie. She’s a single mom with two pre-school aged children. She called my office one day asking for help about her housing situation.
Minnie and her children lived in a second floor apartment in a privately owned low rent housing unit. She was routinely sleeping in her car with her kids because her downstairs neighbor came home from work each day around 6 PM and began smoking. By nine o’clock, her children, one of whom had asthma, were coughing and having problems breathing.

5. ETR's Health Equity Framework in Practice: Creating an LGBTQ Inclusive Curriculum
-
By Marcia Quackenbush, MS, MFT, MCHES | May 8, 2018
LGBTQ students have plenty of reasons to feel like they don’t “fit” in a lot of schools. They are likely to experience pervasive harassment and discrimination, which may be delivered by peers, educators or administrators. Most attend classes that make no reference to their relationships, LGBTQ contributions to society, or the history of the gay and transgender rights movements.
ETR's Health Equity Framework gives us a way to examine issues such as these and be more focused and intentional about the steps we take to address them.

6. ETR's Health Equity Framework: A Mission-Focused Tool
-
By Vignetta Charles, PhD & Karin Coyle, PhD | April 24, 2018
At ETR, we advance health equity through science-based solutions. We’ve been doing it for 37 years. But it wasn’t until recently that we developed our own framework to explicitly and transparently ground our work in health equity. This more intentional approach to health equity has energized our mission-driven work.

7. Youth E-Cigarette Use and School Connectedness
-
By Xinran Cui Dhaliwal, MPH | March 20, 2018
Health promotion must take a multifaceted approach. It is the only path to success. This is one of my core beliefs.
It’s also something that resonated deeply for me at ETR’s recent All Staff Retreat—my first. When you meet everyone in this organization in one room at one time, you are struck by the fact that ETR staffers work in so many diverse areas of public health research and practice.

8. Making Health Equity Work: An Interview with Cynthia A. Gómez
-
Cynthia A. Gómez, PhD | March 15, 2018
Professor Emerita in Health Education, Founding Director Health Equity Institute, San Francisco State UniversityThe way I like to describe the concept of health equity is to say that it is the solution to the problem of health inequities. Health inequities are differences in health outcomes that are avoidable.
I think of health equity as a visionary goal where all people have equal opportunity, access, and resources to achieve the best health possible.
