Graduate and Post-Doctoral Students
We are currently writing a paper that will propose a conceptual framework for expanding our understanding of structural determinants of health and health inequities. Going forward, the focus of this research group will be on upstream factors affecting children’s well-being.
We are not planning to conduct any additional studies on the impact of early adversities on negative outcomes or on secondary/tertiary prevention strategies aimed at alleviating the impact of adversities.
If you are interested in joining this research group, please e-mail Canan Karatekin, Ph.D. (karat004@umn.edu). To learn more about what to expect as a graduate student in the Child Wellbeing Research Group, please read this document outlining what you can expect from Dr. Karatekin as an advisor/mentor and what she expects from graduate students.
