What this research studies
This research focuses on addressing the social determinants of health that contribute to disparities in child health outcomes. It aims to co-design and evaluate a system called RISEUP, which integrates medical and social support for pediatric patients and their families. By collaborating with healthcare providers, human services, and parents, the project seeks to identify and respond to the root causes of health inequities, ultimately promoting better health outcomes for children. The approach involves monitoring risks and implementing proactive solutions tailored to the needs of the community.
