Advancing Health and Well-Being: Using Evidence and Collaboration to Achieve Health Equity
Advancing Health and Well-Being: Using Evidence and Collaboration to Achieve Health Equity is a collection of first-person perspectives of more than 70 contributors from across disciplines, including Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Eugene Robinson and Stanford University economist Raj Chetty. With data-and narrative-driven examples from all corners of academia, research, and policy, it offers a richly practical resource for those working to improve population health and well-being.

Other books in the series include:
- Knowledge to Action: Accelerating Progress in Health, Well-Being, and Equity
- Well-Being: Expanding the Definition of Progress
- Culture of Health in Practice:Innovations in Research, Community Engagement, and Action
- Community Resilience: Innovation, Engagement, and Equity
