It is
well known that the conditions influencing health status lie largely
outside the health care system. Population health research seeks to
better understand health determinants embedded in our social, economic,
and political systems. Such research seeks new knowledge that will inform
and influence communities and policy makers to act in ways that sustain
the health of our social systems and our physical environments.
The
Community and Population Health Research (CPHR) Training Program is an
innovative post-graduate training initiative with an interdisciplinary
approach to population health research. CPHR focuses on creating new
health knowledge and applying research findings through partnerships with
community constituencies, community-based organizations, policy makers and
government. |
