Creativity is largely seen as a positive construct, but there is room to deepen, document, and specify its impact on beneficial outcomes. Past research has identified academic achievement and mental health as areas of interest; we build and expand off of such work to suggest creativity may have a particularly strong connection to equity and meaning-making. With the aim of increasing creativity’s appeal to decision-makers and resource allocators, we offer specific suggestions and potential agenda items for future research, scholarship, and policy.
