Our lab is home to a variety of projects researching the diverse aspects of the social and spatial determinants of health in small places and small spaces. These projects include multiple cause mortality, geographic analysis of health system users, development of a student knowledge exchange for rural health, and environmental health via analysis of air pollution and green space. Our work has been funded by SSHRC, CIHR, and other external agencies and partners.
