EpiArts Lab

The EpiArts Lab at the University of Florida Center for Arts in Medicine, in partnership with Dr. Daisy Fancourt at University College London, builds on research conducted in the UK to explore the impacts of arts and cultural engagement on population health outcomes, as well as the mechanisms involved, in the US. This work is being undertaken through epidemiological analyses of US cohort studies and, in its current third phase of work, is exploring Social Prescribing in the US through implementation science studies. The Lab is also working to create Core Outcomes Sets for key public health issues (racism, collective trauma, social isolation, mental health, and chronic disease) and a set of key common outcomes for social prescribing research in the US.
