About This Project

Summary

The Roots of Health Inequity Course Series is free for public health professionals and students. Learners explore the root causes of health inequity such as racism, capitalism, and cisheteronormativity in English and Spanish. Written by experts, the courses use video, podcast recordings, interactives, discussion questions, worksheets, and graphics to engage learners. While learners can work independently, the course offers tools for group learning such as an AI assistant and group admin tools.

Goals & Objectives

The goal is to provide an enhanced educational tool for public health to support studying and impacting root causes. With authoritative content and engaging features, public health professionals can use the tool to enlist colleagues in productive discussions about social justice and health equity.

Results & Impact

Easy to access and easy to share, the Roots course is a cornerstone product for NACCHO and an important educational tool for public health. Post launch we saw a quick uptick of new users with over 5000 new visitors and 1200 new accounts, engaging in the effort to move the needle on health equity.
