Environmental Analysis & Communications | News

With support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Culture of Health Leaders program, EAC staff are working to develop a set of health inequity indicators for New Jersey.  The focus of this project is on examining “upstream” or social determinants of health.  The EAC team developed a screening approach to better understand disproportionate environmental burden as a potential indicator of health inequity.  Additional indicators are under development.
