About us

About us

This Toppforsk@IE research group establishes a critical link between members of the social science group at the Department of Sociology and Political Science and members of the statistics group at Department of Mathematical Sciences - an integration that has been largely overlooked but is essential for advancing our understanding of global health equity. Our group also forms the core of the Center of Health Equity Analytics.  We aim to investigate the determinants of health inequity, generate deeper insights into its underlying causes, examine spatial variations in health equity across multiple scales, and advocate for targeted policy reforms that promote fairer and more equitable health outcomes.
