SDHI's research remit is to address the social, economic and cultural factors underpinning the health of the public, health inequalities, access disparities and the abiding presence of preventable disease. It will, for instance, explore: relationships between the environment, gender, social class, age, diet and health; the impact of poverty; the role of social capital and social exclusion in health inequalities and; cost/benefits of local, national and international initiatives to improve public health. The Institute is also concerned to explore the nature of services set up to deal with health problems, and is particularly interested in how service design interacts with client need. Members of the SDHI will continue to be involved in international research, collaborating with other groups in the UK and abroad. As indicated by the high RAE ratings of departments involved, the Institute will help to ensure that research of the highest quality is applied to critical issues in Scotland, the UK and abroad.
