Our Approach
ETR has created evidence-based tools and strategies to guide our work and support the education, training, and research of others.
Health Equity Framework
ETR’s work is based on our Health Equity Framework (HEF). This framework says that a person’s health and education are shaped by how they interact with the world around them. Using this idea, ETR helps partners create programs that are backed by science and designed to fit the needs of each community.
