When Communities Lead
Advancing equitable outcomes with inclusive research
Equity is central to our work at Mathematica. We understand that we don’t have all the answers, but we know we can discover more equitable outcomes when we include the communities we serve in our work and look to them for guidance.
Whether those communities are families with children, indigenous peoples, Black and Latino students, or the disability community, we strive to work hand-in-hand to apply research, analytics, and technology in ways that enhance well-being. We’ve worked with our partners to evaluate and implement programs that expand equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, provide better employment opportunities for youth with disabilities, and implement place-based systems change to promote economic and educational opportunities.
Explore our work and insights below to learn about how we're working with partners to promote more equitable outcomes and get tips for conducting more inclusive research in your organization.
