CHASE Research

Deakin's research profile is characterised by:

• acknowledging the multiple forms of exclusion and the diversity of communities;
• building on the agency and creativity of people to respond within frameworks of stigma and exclusion;
• working to ensure the best possible positioning for the excluded to help themselves;
• recognising that health can be improved even if people remain excluded;
• remaining optimistic that ways out of various forms of exclusion can be found; and
• tackling the underlying causes of exclusion in pragmatic and realistic ways.
  

Current capacities and programs of research by CHASE research teams within the Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences are extensive and are continually developing. Our strengths include the following team-based programs:

• Mental health
• Environments and Communities
• Health Impact Assessment
• Disability
• Social Diversity
• Public Health
