Exploring Early Education Levers to Improve Population Health: A Workshop

Completed

On September 14, 2017, the Roundtable on Population Health Improvement held a free, public 1-day workshop that explored the intersection of health and early childhood care and education, two key social determinants of health.

The workshop featured perspectives of experts from the health, child care, early childhood education, and other relevant sectors, and explored such topics as the state of the evidence, shared outcomes/metrics, financing, and ways that health sector leaders and practitioners can partner with and support care and education sector colleagues.

Description

An ad hoc committee will plan and convene a one-day public workshop which will build on the June 2014 workshop hosted by the Roundtable on Population Health Improvement, again featuring invited presentations and discussion on research, policy, and practice at the intersection of health and education, this time with a narrower focus on the early childhood period. The committee will develop the agenda and identify meeting objectives, select appropriate speakers, and moderate the discussions. The workshop will include the perspectives of experts from the health, education, and other relevant sectors, and may explore such topics as the state of the evidence, shared outcomes/metrics, early childhood education financing, and ways that health sector leaders can partner with and support education sector counterparts. A proceedings based on the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines, and a proceedings in brief prepared by staff in accordance with institutional guidelines.
