Welcome to the Home Webpage of the Center for Community Research. On the attached pages, you will read about many of our collaborative activities involving community members, undergraduates, graduate students and other Center staff.
We focus on applied research involving public policy issues involving a variety of health issues, including chronic fatigue syndrome, recovery homes for substance abusers, re-entry issues for people leaving jail and prison, and tobacco use among minors. Our focus is on efforts to reduce stigma, empower citizens, and better understand the systemic and environmental barriers to full participation in community life.
