Health
What it is and why it is important
Health research investigates the factors that influence health outcomes and disparities across different populations and how these health outcomes impact individuals’ life chances.
Our research helps in developing policies and interventions that promote equitable health outcomes for all population groups.
Key research topics in this field include:
- The social determinants of health, including income, education, and environment.
- Health disparities based on race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status.
- The impact of public health policies and healthcare access on population health.
