Federally Funded Research Advancing Health Equity in Maternal and Child Care
Many underserved communities face significant barriers to maternal and child health, leading to higher risks for poor outcomes. At 嘿嘿视频, Yuuko Mabrey Johnson, a researcher at the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, guides federally funded work to help children from presently or historically marginalized backgrounds achieve optimal health, education, and economic outcomes. Her research aims to improve understanding of how providers and administrators of early intervention services can construct equitable services for presently and historically marginalized families and children.
Helping Humanity
By addressing racial and socioeconomic disparities in maternal health, Johnson鈥檚 work is helping to close equity gaps in utilization of early intervention services for children. Her research also informs policies and interdisciplinary practices that promote equity in healthcare. Without sustained federal funding, these critical programs could be at risk, limiting access to life-changing support for vulnerable families. Continued investment ensures that research-driven solutions can help build stronger, healthier communities.
The point of pursuing a Ph.D. degree is to be able to immerse yourself into studies, and to have the opportunity for conversations that we typically wouldn鈥檛 have.鈥
