Research on the impact of the convergence among the physical, built, and social environments on health behaviors and health outcomes as well as bidirectional relationships between local context and health. Research on how local setting, community and social/interpersonal factors influence health. Includes evaluation of existing laws and programs as well as simulations of potential laws or programs. Research to examine the impact of policies, laws, and governmental programs at the local, state, national, or global level on health outcomes in health disparity populations. Health Impacts of Non-Healthcare Laws, Policies, and Public Health Initiatives Research on how societal forces influence patterns of health disparities over the life course and across generations. Population-Level Health Trajectories and Intergenerational Transmission of Risk and Resilience Research to understand how interactions of social, cultural, environmental, and biological risk and protective factors produce population-level health outcomes. Pathways and Mechanisms of Macro-Level Health Determinants on Population Health Research on how societal and structural factors influence population-level patterns of disease risk factors, incidence, morbidity, and mortality for health disparity populations. Research to understand population-level patterns related to new or emerging health behaviors (e.g., use of e-cigarettes or pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), use of new dietary supplements or weight loss programs) or health conditions (e.g., fentanyl overdoses, Zika incidence in US Territories). higher socioeconomic status) or subgroups within a health disparity population (e.g., racial/ethnic minorities with disabilities older adults living in rural areas).Įpidemiology of Emerging Health Behaviors or Health Conditions in Health Disparity Populations urban areas sexual/gender minorities of lower vs. racial/ethnic minorities living in rural vs.

Research to understand the contribution of intersecting social statuses on patterns of disease risk, incidence, morbidity, and mortality for health disparity populations (e.g. Research on health disparity populations or subpopulations where patterns of disease risk, incidence, morbidity, or mortality are unknown or unclear because of under, insufficient, or lack of representation in existing data sources or scientific literature.Įpidemiological Research on Population Intersectionality Research to identify and understand patterns of disease risk factors, incidence, morbidity, and mortality for populations or health conditions that have not yet been adequately studied and potential disparities are not yet documented.Įpidemiological Research with Understudied Populations
