“At IHRP, UIC researchers examine questions related to health, as defined in the broadest terms. The multiple areas that influence health comprise our work: health behaviors; social determinants of health, including social and economic factors; clinical care; the physical environment; and health-related practices and policies.

“Education, employment, income, family and social support, community safety — all are highly relevant to health outcomes. I invite UIC researchers studying any of these influences to join us.”
