CAnD3: Consortium on Analytics for Data-Driven Decision-Making
I had a wonderful opportunity to be a fellow in the 2021-2022 cohort. Below is just one of the many collaborative opportunities we had to showcase some of the skills we learned:
GENDERED EFFECTS OF SOCIAL SUPPORT ON HEALTH AND LIFE SATISFACTION
Co-authors: Rachel Ganly1, Ina Palii2, Gum-Ryeong Park3
RQ: How does gender moderate the relationship between social support on health and life satisfaction?
Main takeaways:
•To reduce health inequalities, promoting formal and informal social support can be an effective strategy
•Gender needs to be taken into account in the development of social and health policies, strengthening the rationale for GBA+ analysis. Gender is a multifaceted and fluid construct and can influence the distribution of social support and other important resources
