Section outline

  • Lecture:  Introduction to research with diverse populations

    Research in diverse populations requires an understanding of the complex multi-level influences on human health and how these are patterned by sociodemographic characteristics, including race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status. This lecture will provide an introduction to conceptual models for these multi-level influences on health and their relevance to research of all types on human health. This multi-level framework will then provide the structure for the following three lectures of the course, which will review sequential layers of this model.
