Launch of the Center for Community Health Equity Research

Event date/time: 

Thursday, April 26, 2018 - 9:30am to 12:30pm

Chan School of Public Health, presents his research on "Racial and Socioeconomic Disparities in Health: Present Realities and Future Directions," followed by brief remarks from a panel of faculty in Health Promotion and Policy and Political Science.

The SPHHS Center for Community Health Equity Research promotes multidisciplinary research investigating the social production of health disparities and the relationships among individual, social, and environmental structures that impact quality of life and population health. The Center seeks to address the gap between academic research and practice by leveraging rigorous studies to drive public health policies. It will build collective resilience by forging partnerships both locally and globally through participatory research with clinical and community-based organizations.
