Health Inequalities, Societies and Systems
The Health Inequalities, Societies and Systems Group brings together interdisciplinary researchers and multi-sectoral partners to examine health inequalities through a systems approach. We investigate the systemic and intersecting drivers of inequity over the life course, including racism, gender inequality, crime, precarious livelihoods and environmental pollution, and draw on implementation research to address these inequalities in real-world settings.
Public Health & Epidemiology research group
The Public Health & Epidemiology group examines how disease arises, clusters and progresses across populations, and how health systems and policy can be reshaped in response.
