Our Publications
For two decades at previously the University of Pittsburgh and Johns Hopkins University and now at the City University of New York Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy (CUNY SPH), our PHICOR team has published over 295 publications in scientific peer-reviewed journals. This has included descriptions of work done directly with decision-makers at all levels — ranging from local, state, and federal leaders, as well as international leaders. Below are some examples.
