Signature Equity Tools

At the Institute for Equity in Child Opportunity & Healthy Development at BUSSW, academic research on healthy child development is just one piece of the puzzle. We also create publicly available tools for practitioners, policymakers, advocates, educators, and researchers to use in their own communities to investigate and advance equity for children and families.

Policy Equity Assessments

Our framework integrates questions of racial and ethnic equity into policy analysis.

Child Opportunity Index

We measure, map, and compare how neighborhoods support child opportunity.

Maps

We make it simple to explore child opportunity and racial/ethnic equity nationally and in your neighborhood, city, or state.

Datasets

We host 300+ datasets on child and family demographics, well-being, and equity.

From Redlining to Child Opportunity

We provide data, maps, and context on 1930s redlining practices to guide understanding of how past policies influence modern-day child opportunity.
