Fifteenth Annual INRICH Workshop
Reducing child poverty to improve health and development: What works?
May 27 - 28 , 2024hosted by Centre de recherche de l'Université de Montréal (CRCHUM) – Montréal, Québec, Canada
Increasing amounts of data demonstrate that large numbers of children and young people worldwide are exposed to poverty which in turn hampers health and development. Ongoing research is disentangling the processes through which poverty and economic hardships undermine health and development. There is consensus that implementing and evaluating evidence-based interventions is a promising direction to address this public health issue. Yet, there is limited research on the types, scale, and spread of programs and policies required to mitigate the negative effects of these adversities but more importantly how to prevent adversity and its consequences all together. The focus of the 15th INRICH interdisciplinary workshop will be on what is known about what works to reduce child poverty and how poverty reduction interventions can successfully improve health and development.
By bringing together an international group of clinicians, researchers, and policymakers to discuss what works and how to reduce child poverty and improve health and development, we hope to contribute to catalyzing more intervention research, which can orient action across different sectors including health, education, municipalities, and recreation.

Organised collaboratively by INRICH members Lise Gauvin and Sylvana Côté who are both professors at the École de santé publique de l’Université de Montréal (ESPUM) and members of the Observatory for Children’s Education and Health (OPES) along with the International Network on Research on Child Inequalities.
