The PRC/MI is one of 33 prevention research centers funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Improving Health in Partnership with
Families and Communities
The mission of the Prevention Research Center of Michigan (PRC/MI) is to create and foster knowledge resulting in more effective public health programs and policies. The Center conducts community-based prevention research to improve health and prevent disease, especially focused on populations with a disproportionate share of poor health outcomes.
We have developed strong and committed partnerships among community-based organizations, health departments, health advocacy groups, health service providers, and academic institutions. Core research projects are located in the city of Flint and Genesee County Michigan.
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT Over the last four years, the YES youth, neighborhood advocates and staff have planned and carried out projects to improve the physical and social environments in their community.
