Last week we started our deep dive into the RAND Corporation’s comprehensive report on early childhood programs. We talked about how they’re defined, and how they’re targeted. Great. But do they work? What are the outcomes they improve? In the next year and a half, we here at Healthcare triage are going to take some deep dives into issues of health policy, especially those that touch on social determinants of health and health equity. The episodes that do so will be a bit longer than usual. They’ll look a little different. They also come to you thanks to the support of the RWJF, which has generously supported their creation. We’re excited about this opportunity to really dig in, and we hope you will be, too.
