The AAMC Center for Health Justice conducts regular nationally representative polling to ask the public about health equity issues. Prior polls have asked respondents about health and civic engagement, birth experiences, trustworthiness of institutions, and more.
The center has designed a multi-topic poll and surveyed a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. The results are now in, and research teams are invited to apply for access to polling data on Americans' access to health care, financial equity, child health, disability justice, and understanding of health equity terms and concepts. Selected teams will conduct their own research for evidence-based solutions to achieve health equity.
Applicants are asked to submit a health equity-focused research proposal with research questions that can be answered using data from the CHARGE Investigates-A Call for Research dataset. The proposed studies should produce innovative, actionable, relevant research that uses the available data to answer important health equity-focused questions and inform health policy.
Eligible teams will consist of three to five members. Team members may be professional researchers, academic medicine instructors, medical providers, faculty, nonacademic professionals, or community members.
