Briefs on Urban Health Topics
The Urban Health Collaborative (UHC) at Drexel University's Dornsife School of Public Health produces briefs to disseminate information to a range of stakeholders.
Past topics have included levels of health and health determinants in Philadelphia neighborhoods and other urban areas, novel methodological approaches in urban health, and promising urban health policies.
The UHC publishes several different types of briefs which can serve as a resource for community leaders, local organizations, providers, and other stakeholders.
