The IHPR's program of research and education
supports the development of international, national, provincial, and local
efforts that will enable people and communities to gain greater control over
the determinants of their health and quality of life. The research examines
the social, behavioural, and environmental determinants of health and the
factors that predispose, enable, and reinforce individual and collective
actions in relation to these determinants. Research projects include policy
analyses, epidemiological study of social and behavioural causes of health
and disease or injury, design and evaluation of innovative approaches to
bring about change in these factors, and studies of the implementation and
diffusion of these innovations by policy makers, institutions, agencies,
communities, practitioners, and populations.

Mission
The Department contributes to undergraduate medical education in aspects of
community health and epidemiology, and offers a thesis-based master’s degree in
epidemiology. The goal of the Department’s contribution to undergraduate medical
education is to foster an appreciation of the epidemiologic approach to medical
data, and an understanding that the practice of medicine must be carried out
with an awareness of the broad societal context which influences the development
and outcome of disease. The goal of the graduate education program is to provide
students with educational opportunities needed to acquire the knowledge,
attitudes, and methodological skills necessary to participate in applied or
academic research in health services or epidemiology within the context of
multi-disciplinary research teams.
