Yale Equity Reseach and Innovation Center (ERIC)
@eric-ysm.bsky.social
Equity Research & Innovation Center (ERIC) @ Yale focuses on health/care disparities research. Founded by Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith. Posts are from ERIC.
New ERIC study finds that most patients are willing to share race/ethnicity/language data, but lower willingness still exists in key populations: people with less trust in providers, poorer health, and certain racial/ethnic groups.
Equity needs data, and data needs trust www.i-jmr.org/2025/1/e67288
