Event Description
The 10th Annual Drexel Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Symposium will explore the importance of data in maternal and child health and how different types of data collection strategies and research methods are used to advance MCH outcomes.
Discussions throughout the morning will
highlight the importance of large state and national MCH data sets, rich
qualitative MCH data, and data from community-engaged research. Attendees will learn about innovative data collection strategies and hear examples of how data is used
to inform practice and policy.
The symposium focuses on how data, in its
various forms, is a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, advocates,
and families interested in understanding and advancing maternal and child
health.
