Religion & Public Health Collaborative

The Religion and Public Health Collaborative at Emory University focuses on the intersection of faith and health, emphasizing the critical role religion plays as a social determinant of public health. Under the leadership of Dr. Ellen L. Idler, the initiative fosters interdisciplinary research, academic programs, and community engagement, promoting discussions on the positive and negative interactions between these two fields.

Through various events, educational offerings, and research publications, the Collaborative addresses contemporary health challenges, including the influence of faith communities on public health issues like vaccination skepticism amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. It aims to leverage the insights and strategies of faith leaders and scholars to enhance public health outcomes and advance the understanding of religion's impact on health and wellbeing.
