Although no formal consensus about the definition of population health research yet exists... most descriptions of the field include one or more of the following characterizations : Population health research is an interdisciplinary field focusing on the health outcomes of groups of individuals, which can be defined variously(e. g., workers at a workplace, residents of a neighborhood, people sharing a common race or social status, or the population of a nation). Population health researchers conduct studies that seek to characterize, explain and/or influence the levels and distributions of health within and across populations.
