Geo-Health Research Group

The Geo-Health Research Group (GHRG) focuses on projects about the geographies of health and healthcare in cities and metropolitan areas. Members of the GHRG are interested in spatial patterns of disease transmission, health behaviors and everyday activities, immigrant health, the accessibility of health care services, the health and health care of minority groups, and public health policy.

Dr. Lu Wang is the PI of the leader of the research group.

The CIHR-funded COVID-19 project “Spatial and social patterning of COVID- 19 prevention and transmission in Canada: Investigating the impacts of risk perception and preventive behaviour on individual activity space (external link) ” has concluded.

SSHRC-funded project "Examining transnational health practices and healthcare access among older immigrants in Canada" is ongoing
