Please register for the report release webinar of the new National Academies report Vibrant and Healthy Kids: Aligning Science, Practice, and Policy to Advance Health Equity on Thursday, July 25th, 2019 at 11:00 am EDT. The webinar will include an overview of the report and discussion of the report’s findings, conclusions, recommendations, and key messages.

Early life conditions, including social supports and exposure to adversity, shape prenatal and early childhood development. These exposures unfold through education, housing, the physical and social environment, and other social determinants of health. Programs and policies designed to mitigate adverse conditions for U.S. children often fail to achieve the intended outcomes for the majority of recipients of these interventions. A new National Academies report applies neurobiological and socio-behavioral sciences to identify needed policy actions, program development, practice changes, systems reform, and research priorities to advance health equity.
