SEICHE Center Spring Seminar Series: Dr. Jaquelyn Jahn, "The Criminal Legal System & Health Inequities: Research for Action"

On March 31st, 2021, 12 - 1 PM ET, the SEICHE Center for Health & Justice will host Dr. Jaquelyn Jahn as part of our spring seminar series. Dr. Jahn's presentation is titled "The Criminal Legal System & Health Inequities: Research for Action."

Dr. Jahn is a social epidemiologist whose research investigates the consequences of social policies for population health and health equity. She is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the City University of New York, where her current projects examine the intergenerational implications of criminal legal contact for health and well-being across the lifecourse, as well as effects of reforms in US health care and criminal justice policy. She received her PhD and MPH from Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health.

This event will be moderated by Dr. Louisa Holaday, a fellow in the National Clinician Scholars Program at Yale University. Louisa was born and raised in New York City, attended the University of Michigan for college and medical school, and completed residency in Social Internal Medicine at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, where she served as chief resident. Her research interests include the effect of neighborhood and community on health; specifically, the spillover effects of mass incarceration, concentration of poverty, legacy of redlining, structural racism, and community resilience. She is also interested in workforce diversity within academic medicine.

This seminar is co-sponsored by the Equity Research and Innovation Center (ERIC) at the Yale School of Medicine and the Social and Behavioral Sciences Department at the Yale School of Public Health.
