Department Overview
This research is housed in the Institute for Health and Aging and the Department
of Social and Behavioral Sciences in the UCSF School of Nursing. The UCSF
Institute for Health and Aging (IHA) was established as the Aging Health Policy
Center by the School of Nursing in 1979 to foster multidisciplinary
collaborative research, education, and public service in the fields of health
policy and aging. In 1985, the Institute became an Organized Research Unit of
the University of California and was re-designated as the IHA. Faculty at the
Institute represent multiple disciplines and health professions, including
sociology, psychology, anthropology, political science, economics, public
administration, public health, social work, nursing, medicine, pharmacy,
dentistry, and law. The research mission of the Department of Social and
Behavioral Sciences is 1) to advance knowledge in nursing health policy and in
sociology through theoretically-informed, methodologically rigorous qualitative
and quantitative research; and 2) to examine the broad dynamics of health,
healing, and the production of knowledge and technologies and their applications
in these domains with special focus on inequalities.
