How do education levels impact health outcomes?

Anna Zajacova’s primary research are is the social determinants of health. She focuses on education and health among adults in the United States. She has researched the health outcomes of sub-baccalaureate adults in the United States, the subset of the population that attended college but did not complete it.

“Education and health are the biggest decisions faced by many families when it comes to their kids,” said Zajacova. “It’s one of those interesting areas that we know a lot about but we still haven’t gathered enough in-depth information to understand how social factors get under the skin and how changes in the social climate impact young people in particular.”

Zajacova is looking forward to opportunities to work with MA students and PhD candidates.
