Research on Emergency Systems, Population Needs and Delivery: RESPOND Lab

About Us

We conduct research at the intersection of social context and emergency care, focusing on developing, testing, and implementing innovative interventions to address the adverse social determinants of health. In collaboration with our communities, we rigorously evaluate these interventions to drive tangible improvements in health equity. Additionally, we provide training for residents and fellows to critically examine the structural factors influencing patients’ lived experiences, while equipping them with a comprehensive understanding of the institutional and population health frameworks within which we operate.
