In 2021, the Population Health Innovation Lab’s Division of Research and Network Science conducted a study with six Accountable Communities of/for Health (ACH) in Washington and California that sought in-depth answers to the question: “How do local context and power dynamics influence an ACH’s ability to make progress toward improved equity?” Findings from this study are available in this report.
