Engaging and partnering with populations and communities in a culturally appropriate manner to understand determinants of health and develop interventions to improve health outcomes. Population and community health refers to the overall health and the distribution of health outcomes within and across communities and populations. Research in population and community health outcomes addresses the social determinants of health and health disparities to achieve health equity.
Within population and community health, our researchers are addressing topics such as cancer survivorship, management of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pain, substance use, and symptoms, and maternal-child health.
