Rainbow Research has an extensive portfolio of projects involving community-based programs and policy initiatives that focus on strengthening individual, family, and environmental health.
Recent evaluation projects include initiatives centered on reducing health disparities and improving the social and environmental determinants of health; reducing alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use among targeted populations (youth, African Americans, American Indians, Southeast Asians); increasing the dietary and physical health of children and families; promoting access to healthy food; and the delivery of health education and peer-support programs.
