Job Summary

Children’s HealthWatch (CHW) is a multi-site study that assesses how public policies and economic insecurity affect the health and development of very young children. CHW helps policymakers and the public better understand the social and economic factors that affect children’s health so they can make well-informed policy decisions that give all children equal opportunities for healthy, successful lives. The Philadelphia site is led by faculty at the Dornsife School of Public Health at Drexel University and data collection occurs in association with St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.
