Parental Employment Quality and Child and Youth Mental Health: A Case Study in Bridging Clinical and Social Epidemiology
Dr. Anne Fuller, Assistant Professor, Pediatrics
Social epidemiology is a field of epidemiology that seeks to understand the roles of social factors at the population level that lead to variation in health outcomes with particular attention to the contexts and mechanisms of social processes. In this presentation, I will use the example of parental job quality to discuss the intersection of social and clinical epidemiology and consider the role of clinical researchers in studying the effects of social contexts on child health.
Learning Objectives:
1. Define and distinguish between clinical and social epidemiology.
2. Describe strategies for using population-level data to answer questions in social epidemiology
3. Gain insight into ways that parental employment quality may lead to differential child and youth health outcomes
