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. Population health researchers view health as the product of multiple determinants at the biologic, genetic, behavioral, social, and environmental levels and their interactions among individuals and groups and across time and generations. 2, record 3, English, - population%20health%20research

New evidence on the effects of early experiences on brain development, school readiness and health in later life has sparked a growing consensus about early child development as a powerful determinant of health in its own right. At the same time, we have been learning more about how all of the other determinants of health affect the physical, social, mental, emotional and spiritual development of children and youth. For example, a young person's development is greatly affected by his or her housing and neighborhood, family income and level of parents’ education, access to nutritious foods and physical recreation, genetic makeup and access to dental and medical. 1, record 6, English, - Determinant%20of%20Health%208%20%2D%20Healthy%20Child%20Development
