Research

UWM's School of Public Health greatly benefits from the unique research expertise of its associated faculty. The research conducted by these individuals is as interdisciplinary as the field of public health itself; drawing on both physical and social science fields to gather data on topics such as substance abuse, health disparities, high risk behavior, occupational health, screening behaviors, environmental determinants of health, and chronic disease prevalence.

A tremendous strength of UWM lies in their number of campus and community partnerships. Many of these partners are engaged in community-based participatory research projects which provide learning and research opportunities for students.
