Center for Health Outcomes, Implementation, and Community-Engaged Science
Welcome to CHOICES
The Center for Health Outcomes, Implementation & Community Engaged Science (CHOICES) is supported in part by the Jack Aron Chair in Primary Care Medicine and under the direction of Dr. Marie Krousel-Wood. The Center’s vision is to improve health outcomes, achieve health equity, and increase access and quality of primary and preventive care in Louisiana, the Gulf South, and beyond.
CHOICES is accomplishing its goals by conducting community-engaged, interdisciplinary, investigator-initiated, extramurally funded clinical, translational, and population-based research; broadly disseminating researching findings; and fostering the career development of the next generation of research scholars. Our work supports our communities in Louisiana and neighboring Gulf South areas through community-engaged research addressing pressing clinical and public health problems to support health equity, fostering the career development of students/ residents/faculty pursuing academic and research careers, and increasing knowledge and awareness of primary care and preventive medicine research.
