This session will provide guidelines to use inclusive language in research and practice specifically with or about African American children, families, and communities.
Research Capacity Building Webinar Series
The Center presents its monthly Webinar Series to advance interdisciplinary community-engaged research, support programs and policies to better serve African American children and families, build research capacity and infrastructure to conduct research relevant to enhance ACF program and policy goals and communicate research findings to a broad audience of community leaders, practitioners, researchers, state and federal policymakers. Ultimately, these webinars will inform approaches to improve the health and well-being of African American children and families.
Objectives

- Effective strategies for communicating and disseminating relevant research findings that promote the well-being of African American children and families, specifically in areas aligned with ACF’s and The Center’s research priorities.
