Research

Since its founding, the Center for Health Equity Transformation’s (CHET) mission has been to lift health for all by exposing root causes of health inequities. We serve as a hub that pushes boundaries in research, education, workforce development, and community engagement to actualize that mission. CHET prioritizes research with an overarching goal of advancing health equity so that every person has an equal opportunity to achieving the optimal health they can enjoy. We strive to reach this goal with projects that focus on diverse underserved and underrepresented populations, paying particular attention to the attainment of health equity through research that centers community members and acknowledges the systemic underpinning of racism and discrimination that creates health inequities.
