Research

Community Medicine faculty are involved in community-based primary prevention, intervention, and public health research, including nationally renowned work in adolescent smoking cessation, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, environmental health, injury control, prevention, social determinants of health, health services research, women's health, and workers' health. (For individual faculty interests, see our faculty section.) External funding and peer-review research generated by faculty can be seen summarized in our newsletters.

Research projects involve vital community endeavors. Many of our faculty are engaged in interdisciplinary work in research and clinical centers, including the CDC-funded Prevention Research Center, the Institute of Occupational and Environmental Health, the CDC-funded Injury Control Research Center, the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center, the Center on Aging, the West Virginia Rural Health Research Center, the Office of Health Services Research, and the Translational Tobacco Reduction Research Program.

The research of our faculty, staff, and students are constant newsmakers - please take a look at our "CMED in the News" section.
