Who We Are
A learning collaborative of economists dedicated to applying data-driven methods (e.g. cost-effectiveness analysis and causal inference) to public health challenges in California.
Our Mission
Professional Development: We provide mentorship programs to nurture the next generation of public health economists.
Collaborative Research: We facilitate joint projects that offer analytical and applied insights to improve health policies and programs.

What We Do:
Hold monthly economist-only sessions for peer review and skill-building.
Host quarterly open webinars for broader engagement.
Form working groups to create shared resources (white papers, code repositories) and deepen analytical expertise.
Our Approach:
Focus on data-driven solutions that distinguish economics from standard epidemiological practices.
Emphasize open knowledge-sharing through voluntary leadership and peer-based collaboration.
Strive to maintain a supportive community for both new and experienced health economists.
