Public Health and Well-Being

Addressing health disparities through collaboration, innovation, and evaluation

To keep pace with new and evolving health challenges, public health and well-being research and policy are more important than ever. Public health researchers have been asked to explore bold and innovative ideas to provide immediate and long-term solutions to our biggest problems. Through cutting-edge investigations, evaluation approaches, and community resources and interventions, public health professionals can help decrease the negative impacts of the world’s most pressing health concerns, while also limiting their recurrence and better preparing us for a safer, healthier future.

RTI International supports critical initiatives to improve international public health outcomes for all. For example, RTI is working with the National Institutes of Health to analyze the long-term effects of a previous COVID-19 infection and working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to examine health inequities in breast cancer outcomes between Black and White women.

With a multidisciplinary team of experts and established relationships across the public health research community, our team is poised to create a world where people thrive in health and wellness.
