Welcome

Welcome to our webpage for the new PRISM research group. Please excuse its appearance as we develop this site.

PRISM (Policy Research In Social determinants of Maternal and child health) is a research group led by Dr. Slawa Rokicki and Dr. Mark McGovern at the Rutgers School of Public Health. Our group focuses on policy-relevant research that seeks to better understand the ways that social determinants affect maternal and child health across the life course, and the impact of social and economic interventions on maternal and child health outcomes.
