Director’s Office, Division of Child and Family Health, Minnesota Department of Health
Molly Meyer is a Senior Research Scientist/Epidemiologist and State Systems Development Initiative Project Director for the division of Child and Family Health at the Minnesota Department of Health. She works to assure that Minnesota’s MCH programs, including CYSHCN, have access to relevant information and data to make informed decisions. Due to bias, power differentials, and the trauma data can cause, she works to educate and frame her work using the lenses of health equity and data feminism. Molly serves as an expert related to MCH data/research to support the agencies' policy and program decision-making, and produces analyses and reports based on Vital Records, National Survey of Children’s Health, Early Childhood Longitudinal Data System, PRAMS, and others. She has 10 years of research experience and holds an MPH in MCH Epidemiology from University of Illinois at Chicago and a BS in Genetics, Cell biology, and Development from the University of Minnesota.
