Vulnerability, Health Care Access and Public Policy

We ask how environmental, social and economic conditions of a population affect health outcomes. 
This will be done first in a descriptive way in order to find important factors and correlations. Next, we 
specifically focus on policy interventions. A potential research question that we seek to explore: has 
the designation of some Groningen and Leeuwarden areas as “Vogelaarwijk” had an effect on the 
health, as compared to the areas that were not singled out in governmental policies? And perhaps 
more importantly, in which ways, and which aspects of the improved environment were most 
significant for these health benefits?
