In the second of three webinars to examine the non-medical factors that shape health, panelists will present key findings on income, education, and racial inequalities from three issue briefs being released on April 26th.

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? The webinar will also highlight the County Health Calculator, a new interactive app that explores the impact that education and income have on health at the U.S., state and county level.

Dr. James Marks, senior vice president and director of the Health Group at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will kick off the discussion with an expert panel that includes:
• Paula Braveman, M.D., M.P.H., University of California, San Francisco
• David Williams, Ph.D., M.P.H, Harvard School of Public Health and Harvard University
• Steven Woolf, M.D., M.P.H., Virginia Commonwealth University
