PUBLIC HEALTH
Resources for the Future has a long tradition of pioneering research on public health, including early work on schistosomiasis control, fertility, and a seminal 1970 study exploring the link between air pollution and mortality. By applying methods first developed in the environmental economics field to the analysis of health issues, RFF research is opening up new avenues for cross-disciplinary research and policy solutions.
Today, RFF researchers are employing creative approaches to a host of health-related policy challenges. These include responding to the growing threat of drug resistance in disease-causing pathogens, setting disease control priorities and health policy in developing countries, and devising strategies to control and eliminate malaria.
