Centre for Research on Equity and Justice in Perinatal Services

This transdisciplinary research cluster prioritizes knowledge exchange, training and mentorship for action-oriented health equity research. We focus on measurement of equity, safety and respect in perinatal services; co-creation of accountability systems; and expanding representation in the perinatal research workforce. We rely on strong partnerships with service users with lived experiences of care from preconception through pregnancy, birth and early parenting.
