CHATTER

Child Health Access, OuTcomes, and Equity Research

In partnership with The Pittsburgh Study, the CHATTER Seminar brings together researchers and community members engaged in community-based, health services, and clinical research across the University of Pittsburgh to promote innovation, foster collaboration, and improve child health.

During these hour-long virtual seminars, you’ll hear about research topics centered on Child Health Access, Health Outcomes, and Health Equity. You’ll also learn from subject matter experts on practical tips and resources available to help you navigate your professional career journey.

We invite early career researchers to present research presentations and also invite methodological presentations. If you or a colleague would like to present, email kelsey.schweiberger@chp.edu or jacquelin.rankine@chp.edu.
