Video Podcast: Diabetes and the Social Determinants of Health

We’ve got an exciting event coming up! Dr. David Campbell, a clinician-scientist from the University of Calgary, joins host Krista Lamb to discuss his work studying diabetes in those experiencing homelessness or food insecurity. Dr. Campbell's research considers the importance of strategies that remove structural barriers to needed healthcare. His team also looks at how to provide solutions that are empathetic and foster mutual respect. In addition, Dr. Campbell will discuss his out-of-the-box knowledge mobilization strategies, including his team's short film, Low, and the photo voice exhibit, Home Sweet Homeless.

During the recording, Dr. Campbell will answer the audience’s questions, so be sure to join us live to participate!
