    Driving Precision Policy Responses to Child Health and Developmental Inequities
    Goldfeld, S ; Gray, S ; Azpitarte, F ; Cloney, D ; Mensah, F ; Redmond, G ; Williams, K ; Woolfenden, S ; O'Connor, M (Mary Ann Liebert, 2019-01-01)
    The growing evidence base on the extent of and opportunities to reduce inequities in children's health and development still lacks the specificity to inform clear policy decisions. A new phase of research is needed that builds on contemporary directions in precision medicine to develop precision policy making; with the aim to redress child inequities. This would include identifying effective interventions and their ideal time point(s), duration, and intensity to maximize impact. Drawing on existing data sources and innovations in epidemiology and biostatistics would be key. The economic and social gains that could be achieved from reducing child inequities are immense.
