Children’s health outcomes are shaped not only by biology but by their social, environmental, and structural contexts - including the health of their caregivers and  siblings and the systems surrounding them. This theme brings together individuals interested in using data science to better understand and address maternal, familial, and child health inequities. Our aim is to connect researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and experts by experience to share knowledge and to facilitate engagement in invigorating discussions. We focus on building community, amplifying diverse voices, and ensuring that family and child health equity remains central in data science conversations.

How to Get Involved

We welcome anyone with an interest in child and family health equity from anywhere in the world—from academic researchers and clinicians to those with lived experience and community advocates. If you'd like to join our activities, support planning, or learn more about the theme, please get in touch via the SLACK theme channel.
