Under the leadership of Professor Kate Pickett, the Public Health and Society research group examines how health outcomes vary across different social groups, considering factors like socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender, and age. Their work explores the social and healthcare elements contributing to health disparities, while also identifying ways to enhance policies and healthcare delivery. The team collaborates with expectant mothers, newborns, families, and caregivers in their studies. Their investigations encompass how cultural backgrounds affect healthcare experiences, as well as the impact of local environments and economic hardship on wellbeing.
