We seek to engage in research that uncovers the influence of adversity and structural influences, like racism on adolescent health. We seek to illuminate the public and social policies that disproportionately impact children and families of color to bring about societal change. Simply, our objective is to make the relationship between hardship and health clear
Experiences we have as we are growing up shape who we are as adults. But did you know they can also impact your health?
As part of the ACHiP project, we also want to study how our experiences interact with our bodies at a physical and biological level. For this part of the study, we further delve into how adversity gets inside our body to influence our minds and our bodies.
