Health
Health and well-being are fundamental aspects of human existence. This cluster is committed to studying social factors and processes that influence health and well-being. It seeks to bring together researchers from different fields and foster inter-disciplinary research on population health and well-being. Specific research interests include social disparities in health and health lifestyle, migration and health, health trajectories over the life course, social networks, social support and health, and population health and macro institutions. These issues are examined in diverse social contexts such as Hong Kong, China and the US, and in cross-national comparison.
