Breaking Down Boundaries
Princeton’s vibrant Global Health Program brings domestic and international health issues to life through interdisciplinary research and teaching, hands-on learning and a focus on policy. The program is administered by the Center for Health and Wellbeing, an interdisciplinary unit within the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.
The Global Health Program serves the broader Princeton community and offers students the opportunity to earn a certificate in Global Health and Health Policy. GHP is a hub for students interested in global health — whether they are seeking to participate in a summer internship in the United States or abroad, take health-related courses, find support for health-related thesis research, get involved with Princeton’s campus activities and events, or pursue plans for a career in global health.
Coronavirus Note: Princeton University is actively monitoring the situation around coronavirus (Covid-19) and the evolving guidance from government and health authorities, in keeping with our commitment to ensure the health and safety of all members of the University community. The latest University guidance for students, faculty and staff is available on the University’s Emergency Management website.
While the worst of the pandemic could be behind us, we cannot underestimate the long-lasting impact of a world-changing event. In this NPR report, CHW affiliate Keith Wailoo cautions that the ripple effects of COVID-19 are likely to play out for years or even decades to come.
In tribute to Women's History Month, the Washington Center for Equitable Growth spotlights CHW Co-Director Janet Currie and her research on how early childhood programs impact the broader economy, health and economic outcomes in adulthood, and women's labor force participation.
CHW affiliate Heather Howard and Marissa Korn, a graduate student at Princeton, say the Affordable Care Act can be a tool to advance health equity, whether by expanding Medicaid in the remaining 12 states or incentivizing other programs.
CHW affiliate Eldar Shafir says that COVID-19 vaccine availability, or the lack of it, holds tremendous sway over our preferences and the value we place on getting a shot. Willingness is rising, even among skeptical groups, at a time when there are still not enough doses to go around.
