Dr. Catherine Cubbin is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at UCSF, and a Faculty Research Associate at the Population Research Center at University of Texas at Austin. She is one of the founding investigators in the Center on Social Disparities in Health at UCSF. Dr. Cubbin received her PhD in Health and Social Policy from the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health in 1998. She was trained as a CDC fellow at the National Center for Health Statistics and completed an NIH postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University in 2000. Dr. Cubbin's research focuses on using epidemiological methods to better understand socioeconomic and racial/ethnic inequalities in health for the purpose of informing policy. Specific areas of her research include using contextual analysis to investigate how neighborhood environments may explain social inequalities in health, and the measurement of socioeconomic status/position in studies of racial/ethnic disparities in health. Using national and statewide representative data sets, she has studied social inequalities in injuries, cardiovascular disease, health-related behaviors, mortality, and maternal, infant, and adolescent health. She has published widely in public health and medical journals, including the American Journal of Public Health, the Journal of the American Medical Association, the American Journal of Epidemiology, the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, the American Journal of Health Promotion, the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, the Maternal and Child Health Journal, and Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health. From 2001-2006, she was a Health Disparities Scholar through the National Institutes of Health, and since 1997, she has been a coordinating committee member of the Spirit of 1848, a caucus of the American Public Health Association which focuses in issues related to health and social justice.
