Health-related Research:
Human health and well-being is tied to all areas of human living. Health researchers are interested in the factors and agents that affect the way we are able to physically and emotionally function. They explore how we interact with our own health and wellness, taking into account health policies, interventions, tools, medications, and patient education.
