The C3-REACH (Committed to Communities Collaborative: Research and Engagement to Advance Beyond COVID to Health Equity) team is comprised of multi-disciplinary scholars and students oriented towards health equity in their work. Led by Dr. Tasleem Padamsee of Ohio State’s College of Public Health, the team is engaged in several projects that aim to address the inequitable burdens of the COVID-19 pandemic on communities made vulnerable to disparities due to social and structural determinants of health. These projects use mixed methods research and emphasize community collaboration and engagement in research processes. Offering a holistic approach to health equity within and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, the members of our group represent a variety of academic disciplines including but not limited to sociology, medicine, health promotion and public policy, and extend beyond Ohio State to include participants from other academic and medical institutions as well as community collaborators.
