DEI & You – Overcoming Data Biases to Advance Health Equity

A lack of clinical and epidemiological data for women, racial, and ethnic groups can contribute to diagnostic uncertainty, lower rates of clinical development for conditions most impacting these communities, and enduring disparities in health. In this episode, Jen is joined by Inizio’s Global Head of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, Stef Christmas, and special guest Soo Son, a Health Equity Change Agent from Unlocking Eve to discuss healthcare data gaps, biases, and what we can do to advance health equity.
