Socioeconomic and Institutional Contexts
Significance and Innovation. Experiences across the life course, beginning early in life, shape lifelong health and the pace of aging. These experiences are powerfully shaped by socioeconomic and institutional contexts such as state-level policies, neighborhoods, housing, workplaces, and schools. These contextual factors are widely recognized as a major contributor to health disparities, especially for preventable health outcomes. CAPS scholarship in this area is at the forefront of population health research, linking experiences in multiple socioeconomic and institutional contexts across the life course to health outcomes and disparities later in life.
