Tools and Training for Public Health Research and Practice
A major objective of the UM Prevention Research Center is to conduct innovative, community-engaged research to prevent chronic disease, especially among SGM populations. Part of this work includes developing, testing, and evaluating evidence-based solutions that can be shared widely and applied to promote SGM health.
The UMD-PRC provides various tools and training opportunities for mental and public health practitioners, including assessments, factsheets, toolkits, webinars, and workshops.
