Description
This brief presents lessons learned from cross-sector early childhood health equity initiatives in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and continued systematic racism. Information was derived from interviews with six community initiative representatives. As part of a larger project entitled the Early Childhood Health Equity Landscape Project (ECHE), this brief – and several companion briefs aims to highlight promising strategies for addressing key issues such as sustainability, data use, state and local partnerships, cross-sector collaboration, and operationalizing health equity within the context of early childhood health equity initiatives. This brief discusses the ways that cross-sector relationships serve to support health equity work in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing racial discrimination. (author abstract)
