Welcome to the 

Health

    Equity in

Research Lab
at the
University of Illinois  Chicago

HSAED (pronounced SHADE) stands for

Health Services to Advance Equity in Diabetes. 

The HSAED Lab merges concepts and approaches from the health services and health psychology fields to further our understanding of how and why some socially defined groups are disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes and its related conditions. The HSAED Lab focuses on the health of immigrants and people of color, and in particular, how multiple forms of discrimination, from interpersonal to structural, "get under the skin" to impact their health.
