Can We Achieve Health Equity Without Addressing the Criminal Justice System?

In this OBSSR Director's Webinar, Dr. Emily Wang, M.D., presented work that illuminated the current state of knowledge on the health harms of mass incarceration. She discussed novel approaches, drawn from her and others’ work, to studying, preventing, and mitigating the health harms of mass incarceration, and especially the importance of engaging those directly impacted in solutions-oriented research. Attendees left with clarity on what we know, what we don’t know, and where we need to go.
