This year, we’re switching up the academic highlights section of our newsletter. In previous issues, we’ve summarised a handful of interesting and recent articles related to the issue’s theme, giving a deep dive into each of those articles.

Moving forward, we’ll be curating a slightly larger selection of articles to explore, aiming to give an overview of the topic. In this issue, you’ll find a selection of articles that discuss how racism impacts child health across each level of society. We hope you enjoy this new approach, and would love to hear your feedback!
