Good Intentions
Moving the Needle on Diversity and Inclusion
Dr. Chiquita Collins is recognized at both state and national levels for her work in health disparities, primarily as it relates to the social context and various societal influences that contribute to health differences (e.g., childhood obesity) among racial/ethnic and across socioeconomic groups. Her published work was used to help inform the making of the award-winning PBS documentary, Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick? Her presentation will center on why diversity initiatives have been under-effective and where to go next.
