Housing insecurity is a social determinant of health associated with worsening chronic health issues, elevated risk of mental health disorders, and limited access to healthcare.

At FHRC, we explore the pathways and mechanisms linking social factors and physical health across the lifespan, in children and adults. For more information, visit https://www.foundationsofhealth.org/

Happy Fourth of July from all of us here at FHRC!

On some of our research projects we use an Endothelial machine. An endothelial machine measures heart health and so much more! Swipe through the photos below to learn more.

In a 2020 study, we examined how community violence affects inflammation in youth. The research can be found at foundationsofhealth.org, in our library of free resources!

Wishing you a happy Halloween from FHRC!

In a 2011 study, our researchers examined how maternal warmth is linked to inflammation levels for people who grew up in low socioeconomic status households. Find out more below!

In a recently published study, our researchers found that harshness of childhood environment, measured by exposure to violence and neighborhood-level murder rate, was associated with more pronounced pro-inflammatory responses and worse clinical outcomes for youths with asthma. Unpredictability of environment was not significantly related to any outcomes.

Happy Mother’s Day! Thank you to all the mothers who have participated in our studies! 😊
