Our research has focused on populations in limited resource contexts who are affected by a wide-range of factors that increase their vulnerability to poor physical and mental health. The populations for whom we have led research and improved practice include:

Refugee and Displaced Persons

Populations who no-longer are able to live in their home community due to conflict and disasters. Learn more.

Conflict Affected Populations

Populations living in contexts where conflict is ongoing as well as populations in communities recovering from recent war and conflict. Learn more.

HIV-affected Populations

Infected, affected, and at-risk populations. Learn more.

Other Vulnerable Populations

Additional populations include sexual and gender-based violence survivors, street youth, populations in extreme poverty, and trafficking survivors. Learn more.
