Kat Theall

Dr. Theall is a professor at Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine (TUSPHTM) in the new Department of Social, Behavioral, and Population Science with a joint appointment in the Department of Epidemiology. As a social epidemiologist, her research focuses on reducing health inequities by understanding and altering built and social neighborhood environments and social policies for better health in underserved populations locally, nationally, and internationally. She incorporates several spatial techniques in all her research and teaches the spatial epidemiology course at TUSPHTM.

She has worked and collaborated with Dr. Duncan for several years and both of them have worked with members of the training faculty to pull the proposal together.
