Boston University School of Public Health Researcher Provides New Insights into Epidemiology (Understanding inequitable healthcare: Methodological approaches, challenges, and opportunities).

A recent study from Boston University School of Public Health explores methodological approaches to understanding inequities in healthcare, focusing on five key domains: availability, patient-centeredness, access, effectiveness, and implementation. The research emphasizes the interconnected nature of these domains and proposes alternatives to randomized controlled trials for studying healthcare inequities. The study highlights the importance of multilevel, participatory, and longitudinal research using real-world data to improve our understanding of healthcare's role in perpetuating health inequities.
