Research: Working toward solutions
SHERC research projects explore environmental factors and conditions that lead to increased risk of disease transmission and biological variables that may affect disease mortality in the underserved.
The research projects, along with the Pilot Project Program, provide important information on which to base real-world solutions to some of the most important health equity issues in the region.
