What is Research and Justice For All?

Research and Justice For All is a podcast from Health Affairs that provides perspectives on how to dismantle unjust systems and structures that have long impacted health outcomes in historically marginalized populations. Hear how to challenge injustices in health care – rooted in racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of exclusion – through research, evidence, community-building, and other potential and innovative solutions.

Each season of the podcast is sponsored by organizations dedicated to eliminating health inequities. The first season, sponsored by CVS Health, features C-Suite level executives, such as Karen DeSalvo (Google), Sree Chaguturu (CVS Health), and Joneigh Khaldun (CVS Health), as they discuss private sector initiatives and responsibility to advance health equity.
