 A Message from
the Director
The Center for Research on Ethnicity, Culture and Health
(CRECH) was established in 1998 at the University of Michigan School of
Public Health (UMSPH) to lead the School's response to dramatic changes
in the racial and ethnic composition of the United States. CRECH
develops new approaches to research and research training relevant to
the description and understanding of racial and ethnic health
disparities. CRECH prepares students to address the public health needs
of an increasingly diverse society by providing a forum for basic and
applied research on racial and ethnic differences in health across all
departments within the UMSPH. Currently, there are three components of
the CRECH diversity training programs: The CRECH Michigan Master's Training Program, the CRECH Doctoral Training Program, and the Paul B. Cornely Postdoctoral Program
in Ethnicity, Culture and Health.
