Under the leadership of Professor Kate Pickett, the Public Health and Society research group examines how health outcomes vary across different social groups based on factors like economic status, ethnic background, gender, and age. Their work explores the societal and healthcare elements contributing to health disparities, while also identifying ways to enhance policies and healthcare delivery. The team carries out investigations involving expectant mothers, newborns, their families, and healthcare providers.
Their research portfolio encompasses examinations of how cultural and ethnic factors shape healthcare experiences, along with investigations into how local environments and economic hardship affect population health.
