Welcome! The Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Lab is a new public health lab in the Department of Kinesiology at The University of Texas at Arlington. Our research lab aims to investigate how contextual factors impact health and health disparities. To achieve the goal, we are currently investigating residential neighborhood attributes (e.g., community walkability, access to affordable healthy food, parks, playgrounds, food price, housing values, segregation) impacting cardiovascular disease and related risk factors such as obesity, physical activity, and diets.
