We are concerned with the social determinants of health (SDOH) that is, the set of institutional, social, economic and cultural factors that impact health and access to health services.

A large body of research has established that health outcomes are a function of a socioeconomic gradient. We have a particular interest in how this may affect women.

Because of our increasingly globalized world and the fact that health risks and disease are no respecters of borders, we are concerned with comparative research and innovative practices that can contribute to improvements in well-being.
