OVERVIEW OF THE NSAPH GROUP

The National Studies on Air Pollution and Health (NSAPH) is a group of faculty, research scientists, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and college students studying data science methodologies in the context of climate change, environmental impacts on health outcomes, and regulatory policy. Our group’s research ranges between statistical methodology, causal inference, machine learning, measures of the environment on cardiovascular, respiratory, and neuro-cognitive health outcomes, environmental justice, and data visualization. The NSAPH group is based at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health with various institutional collaborations nationwide and internationally.
