Resources
We employ a multi-level systems approach to designing action-oriented, rigorous observational and interventional research to be carried out in Northern California and the Central Valley. We aim to build capacity in carrying out translational research that addresses the range of systems that generate or undermine health – from clinical healthcare systems to public health systems to social systems.
