Research Programs - Maternal and Child Health
Centre for Research on Inner City Health - Keenan Research Centre
A person’s socio-economic status in childhood can affect a wide range of outcomes in later life, including physical health, cognitive abilities, social functioning, and emotional well-being. At CRICH, we study at how pregnancy outcomes, maternal well-being, and children's health and development are affected by socio-economic inequalities. And we evaluate what kinds of city programs and policies can result in healthier outcomes for mothers, babies, children, and youth. |
