UH Population Health

The UH Population Health Collaborative is an educational and research hub, leveraging innovative research and analytics to craft accessible training and educational resources that drive positive community outcomes. The Collaborative's value proposition is firmly anchored in a steadfast commitment to policy relevance, deeply rooted in the broader policy and social context, and rigorously validated. We place a premium on expeditiously addressing policy questions by employing a data-driven analytical approach, enriched by valuable community insights, while remaining highly adaptable and open to change and innovation, solidifying our position as a trusted and transparent partner in the pursuit of improved quality of life.

 

Strategic Goals

Housed at the Sugar Land instructional site, the Population Health Collaborative will launch several activities including the Urban Health Index to measure quality of life indicators across the state, such as health, infrastructure, economic development, education, civic engagement, and other social factors. Additionally, the Collaborative will implement workshops on population analysis, expand surveys for longitudinal, nonpartisan data on underrepresented groups, as well as create the Population Innovation Lab for students to engage in real-world projects.
