Local is Global When Dealing with Health Inequalities.
The mission of our Center is to improve health of individuals
and communities, locally, nationally, and internationally, by
addressing health inequities through interdisciplinary
policy-relevant research, interventions, and evaluations.
Education
Our faculty and staff teach and mentor students both on campus and in the field. Our interdisciplinary Center fosters a collaborative, investigative environment that seeks to educate Duke students by providing experiences in working with our research teams and through individual mentorship.
Research
Multi-disciplinary research and rigorous evaluation provide the path to understanding health disparities, locally and globally. CHPIR values our long-lasting relationships with communities and organizations that allow us to understand health inequalities and changes over time.
Service
At the core of many CHPIR projects is translating research into services, policy, and new interventions. The Center bridges research and service by adapting lessons learned between the US and international settings, bringing efficiency and innovative approaches to our work.
We are an instigator and facilitator
of a broad range of health policy
and health disparities research
that addresses policy relevant issues.
Activities largely focus on population based health research, health systems research, and health intervention and evaluation research.
