WEBINAR: Looking Upstream: How Income, Education and Racial Inequalities Shape Health
On April 26th the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation will host a free webinar on the effects that income, education and race have on health.
The webinar will address such questions as: How do income and wealth influence health beyond the ability to afford health care? How do experiences based on a person’s race or ethnic group affect their health? Can a few additional years of education meaningfully improve well-being?

- Paula Braveman, M.D., M.P.H., University of California, San Francisco
