The Office of Health Equity Research is the organizing center of health equity research at Yale School of Medicine. Health equity focuses on ensuring that every individual has a fair opportunity to attain and maintain their highest level of health. It requires a commitment to studying the many and diverse factors that influence health, including biological, social, and economic drivers, and to taking action to remove obstacles such as inadequate scientific understanding, poverty, discrimination, and lack of access to quality healthcare services. Health equity efforts at YSM emphasize the importance of scientific research in identifying and addressing the root causes of health disparities, ensuring that interventions are evidence-based and effective.
Our goal is to support current and expanding health equity research at Yale by providing shared resources and infrastructure. We:
- Convene and catalyze team science focused on health equity research, building on existing team science expertise at Yale.
- Provide methodological consultations and expertise as a shared resource, including community partnership approaches and implementation science.
