Community, population health, and outcomes researchers at Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute seek to improve health, health care delivery, and access to care for children and youth from a diverse range of backgrounds and environments. Our research leaders advance our knowledge about the natural history, biological, psychological, social, behavioral, and environmental causes and influencers of common and prominent child health problems. Our research informs action for patients, families, communities, health system leaders, and policymakers. Much of our program evaluation work is conducted in partnership with community-based organizations as evidence is translated into clinical and public health interventions.
