The Center for Social Epidemiology and Population Health (CSEPH) aims to promote research and training on the causes of health inequalities and the policies and interventions necessary to eliminate these inequalities, both in the United States and globally. Our approach is integrative and multilevel and draws from a broad range of methodological approaches and disciplines. Our goal is to integrate factors operating at multiple levels (ranging from society to genes) and over the lifecourse in order to increase understanding of the determinants of population health and health inequalities and promote more effective action to improve population health.
