The main lines of research of GRECS, framed in statistics, econometrics of health and epidemiology, are applied, as are methodologies.
Regarding statistics, we develop methods that serve to help us investigate in our lines of research, including spatial statistics and epidemiology, compositional data, analysis of survival and mixed models, among others.
Regarding epidemiology, we focus on researching in environmental epidemiology, in subjects such as the effects of atmospheric pollution on health, as well as other environmental variables (noise from traffic, heatwaves, climate change and variation, etc.), in the epidemiology of cancer and diet and cancer.Within clinical epidemiology, we have recently studied the magnitude, characteristics and evolution of the social, economic and health impacts of COVID-19.
We also investigate socioeconomic and environmental inequalities in health.
GRECS has had more than 300 publications of every kind, the majority in high impact international journals.
