Results from the EPOCH Project Available

INRICH is delighted to announce that findings from our EPOCH collaborative project were presented at the 14th Annual INRICH workshop and can be viewed on the INRICH YouTube channel. Also all 4 papers written in 2022 are now published and available in full-text versions on the Publications page.

 

Three publications by INRICH member Gary Evans added to Publications

Gary Evans gives us two articles on childhood poverty and mental health and third article which shows us how social and physical chaos (ex. changes in family structure, irregular family routines, frequent moves, fluctuating daycare arrangements, and noisy, crowded, or generally chaotic environments) can influence early child development. See Publications.

 


 

The International Network for Reseach on Inequalities in Child Health (INRICH), formed in 2008, arose out of a research collaboration between Professors Louise Séguin (Université de Montréal, Québec, Canada) and Nick Spencer (University of Warwick, UK). Since then, leading researchers in the area of child health inequalities and equity from Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Canada, Europe, South Africa, South America and the United States have joined the network.

At our inaugural workshop in Montreal in 2008, we set ourselves specific objectives. Since then we have expanded our membership of active researchers in the field to 172 and we have held annual workshops. Students and post-doctoral fellows have presented and actively contributed to the workshops and to INRICH research collaborations. Moreover INRICH facilitates student exchanges between different members.

The INRICH network has already held successful high-level workshops, in Montreal, Canada (November 2008), Coventry, UK (November 2009), Recife, Brazil (November, 2010), Rotterdam, Netherlands (June 2012), Stanford, USA (June 2013), Stockholm (June 2014), Montreal, Canada (2015), Barcelona, Spain (2016) and Cornell, USA (2017), Bradford, UK (2018), Toronto, Canada (2019), Rotterdam, Netherlands (June 2021), Los Angeles, USA (2022) – these last two meetings were virtual workshops.

Since the beginnings of the network, our members have established many collaborative research projects and have published in collaboration a great number of scientific papers in international peer-reviewed journals, among other realizations. We intend to establish a systematic programme of work with policy makers and our CIHR-funded project incorporates work with policy makers and knowledge users.
