• Project Director: Meardith Pooler-Burgess, DrPH
• Specific Aims: 
  1. Using group model building (i.e., a participatory stakeholder systems science approach), identify the leverage points where disruptive innovations in anti-racism behaviors, policies, and practices can improve health equity. 
  2. Design a simulation system to demonstrate the impact of such anti-racism interventions.  
  3. Using Item Response Theory, initiate the process of developing core measures for assessing the effects of anti-racism interventions at the provider and organizational-systems level as specified in the primary aims.
