Researching the recommendations: 3-D Commission Fellows work behind the scenes

It’s not often early career researchers and doctoral students have the opportunity to collaborate extensively with global public health leaders, publish a significant report, and see it launched in conjunction with the 76th United Nations General Assembly.

Seven fellows—Opeyemi Babajide, Olivia Biermann, Diogo Martins, Meggie Mwoka, Bishnu Thapa, Irene Torres and Zahra Zeinali—recently did just that.

The fellows were a part of the Commission on Health Determinants, Data, and Decision-Making—also known as the 3-D Commission—led by BUSPH and the Rockefeller Foundation.  The Commission produced a report which issues recommendations on how to use data about social determinants of health to drive effective decision making.
