The P3H Lab is a vibrant hub of interdisciplinary research and training on how places and their policies shape population health. A central focus of the lab is investigating how U.S. state and local environments affect people’s health and life expectancy. The P3H Lab is co-directed by Dr. Jennifer Karas Montez, Professor of Sociology and Gerald B. Cramer Faculty Scholar in Aging Studies, and Dr. Shannon Monnat, Professor of Sociology and Lerner Chair in Public Health Promotion and Population Health.
