We expected age, sex, and BMI to be contributors [to back pain], but we found that the top 2 out of 1000+ variables were income and education. Now my research group focuses on how social determinants of health are related to spine disease and low back pain.
Humans of Chicago: Wayne Cauthen
Let’s judge our being one of the top cities in the world by how many people in our city are not helpless, how much of our population doesn’t need drastic help, and how many people have food within walking distance. If we could do that, I think we would be one of the top cities in the world.

C3EN Team Member Highlight: Molly Martin
When I started my career, community-based participatory research was new, and my mentors were concerned that my research approach with community partners would not work. But it did! Together with my community partners, we generated useful research results that influenced programs, policies, and lives.
