HealthConnect One has engaged a team of researchers from across the nation to be part of our Research Advisory Board (RAB). The RAB is a culturally representative team of researchers working in lactation, maternal-child health, maternal mental health, and racial/birth justice research. Our collaborators are proponents or practitioners of community-based participatory research as our work is rooted in Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. We are thrilled to work with this group as we explore research opportunities, develop evaluation plans for our work and build upon the great work of HealthConnect One. Inaugural members of the RAB include:
Paula A. Alio, PhD, MA, University of Rochester
Ifeyinwa Asiodu, PhD, RN, IBCLC, University of California, San Francisco
Brittany Chambers, PhD, MPH, University of California, San Francisco
Karen Tabb Dina, PhD, University of Illinois, Champaign Urbana
Tyra Gross, PhD, MPH, Xavier University
Cassondra Marshall, DrPH, MPH, Berkeley, University of California
