Improving the Lives of Priority Populations

Our researchers are committed to fully engaging with people to understand their lived experiences in order to co-design the most effective interventions and programs. BCSSW research focuses attention on communities that experience disproportionate social, health, and economic disparities in the United States, including the following:

Latinx Communities

Black Communities

Homeless and Housing Insecure Communities

Older (or Aging) Populations

Low-wage Workers

Child and Family Well-being

Global Research

BCSSW faculty forge strong collaborative relationships with government officials and policymakers to ensure effective interventions can be scaled and sustained, and our implementation partners include leading humanitarian organizations and local NGOs. Our global research includes the following areas of focus:

Research Partnerships in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs)

Refugees and Migrants

Children and Families in Humanitarian Settings

Environment and Sustainable Development

Community-engaged Research

A key strength of our partnerships is application of novel approaches that enable community members to engage in intervention planning, design, and implementation. These methods center community voice, enable shared decision-making, and ensure culturally appropriate and relevant interventions and outcome measures. Our methods prioritize:

Research-Practice PartnershipsÌý

Participatory Research and Design

Participatory Modeling

Place-based Research
