Dedicated people and agencies in public health, healthcare, environmental health and mental health turn to CSI for help addressing the big health challenges that face the public and the health services community. Using a social ecological model of systems and influences as a foundation, we help our clients identify issues and innovations, consider impacts of programs and policies, and communicate results throughout the system—individual to community to policy change.
