What We Do
The Health Promotion Research Center (HPRC) conducts community-based research that promotes the health and well-being of middle-aged and older adults, particularly those with lower incomes and in ethnic/cultural minority populations most at risk of health disparities.
Our Affiliations
HPRC is located in the Department of Health Services in the School of Public Health at the University of Washington, in Seattle, Washington.
We are one of 26 Prevention Research Centers funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention through the Prevention Research Centers Program.
Our work is conducted with local, regional, and national partners who are committed to promoting health and quality of life for middle-aged and older adults. We partner with organizations that reach large numbers of individuals, including nonprofit organizations, employers, business groups, community networks, and governmental agencies.
Impact in Our State
Our research has had national impact, and also in our home state of Washington. This graphic shows the reach of some of our interventions statewide.
