UCL Collaborative Centre for Inclusion Health
Our mission
We work to advance health equity for people who experience severe and multiple disadvantage. We do this in collaboration with those with lived experience and across sectors through rigorous research, education, and engagement. We aim to generate and share new evidence to improve care, inform policy, and drive lasting social change.
What is inclusion health?
Inclusion health is an approach to prevent and address the health harms of extreme inequity through research, service, policy, and advocacy.
Populations who we are currently working with include:
- People experiencing homelessness
- People who use drugs
- People in contact with the criminal justice system
- Sex workers
- Gypsies, Roma, and Travellers
- Irregular migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees
- People who have been trafficked or experienced modern slavery
Who are we?
We are a team of multidisciplinary researchers with experience in academia as well as clinical and public health practice. We are mixed methods researchers, with expertise ranging from public health data science and epidemiology to in-depth qualitative, mixed, and participatory research methods. All our work is grounded in co-production and collaboration with lived experience experts, practitioners, and policymakers.
