implementation roadmap
The AEI RCSL Equity Implementation Model™
A four-stage governance framework designed to stabilize, diagnose, redesign, and embed child health equity within programs and implementation systems. The framework supports equity-centered systems transformation in maternal and early childhood health by addressing structural barriers that drive racial disparities in service access, implementation quality, and long-term outcomes.
Interventions shouldn't just be temporary fixes. They should be permanent legacies.
