In support of the Dept. of Public Health's (DPH) commitment to health equity, the DPH Institutional Review Board (IRB) has undertaken a Health Equity Initiative to ensure that principles of health equity, such as community engagement and linguistic inclusion, are integrated into the research, evaluation, and other data-gathering activities that are conducted by DPH and community partners.
