Why Choose Us?

Background

The Center for Community Health and Development has developed widely used capabilities for community-based participatory research and for building capacity for community work, including through the Community Tool Box and the Community Check Box. Recognition of these capabilities led to official designation in 2004 as a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Community Health and Development.

Our center is affiliated with the Department of Applied Behavioral Science and the Schiefelbusch Institute for Life Span Studies at the University of Kansas. Since 1975, generations of Ph.D.-level researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, and professional staff have carried on, and found meaning in, this effort.
