Research to support child health lags behind adult medicine. Our team works to advance child health and healthcare quality by analyzing health systems data, learning from children and families about what’s important to them, and implementing and evaluating child health programs.

- Comparing hospital admission systems and how these systems impact health outcomes and family experience of care
- Understanding the complex challenges associated with inadequate mental health resources for children, including the crisis of mental health boarding
