The working papers series of the Center for Community Health Equity highlights the work of the Center, affiliated faculty and students, as well as community partners.
A wide range of papers will be included in the series, including quantitative and qualitative studies, reviews, commentaries, glossaries, and photo essays. The goal of the series is to nurture cross-institutional discussions about health equity, showcasing the work that is already being done and developing ideas for new projects.
The series is guided by an editorial board drawn from DePaul and Rush. Interested in adding to the series? Find out how to submit you work.
