As a top-tier research group, the Global & Environmental Health Lab is committed to developing cross-culturally validated resource insecurity tools including housing, good, energy, and water insecurity scales that can be used in most low and middle-income countries.
Using a socio-ecological model, we are poised in examining how changes in the physical and social environment manifest at the individual, household, community, and institutional levels; and how responses to these changes vary across time, regions, and ecological zones.
The GH&E team looks forward to a clear future free of health inequity and they are committing their tools, talents, and team to this essential human pursuit.
