Overview

The Stanford Prevention Research Center (SPRC) is a consortium of renowned experts who are world leaders in investigating ways to prevent disease and promote health. Their work focuses on identifying practical, science-based solutions for addressing chronic health issues, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and other conditions, and to raise the standards of scientific investigation that matter for health. SPRC investigators collaborate on long-term projects designed to translate research into effective approaches for promoting well-being at every life stage. The Health Equity Lab, led by Dr. Annesa Flentje, studies health disparities, stress-related health outcomes, and how these processes are mediated by behaviors and molecular mechanisms. The lab conducts translational research and develops evidence-based mental health interventions to improve outcomes like substance use, mood, and anxiety disorders. The LIFESCAPE study is a comparative effectiveness trial of two PTSD treatments among LGBTQIA+ people to determine which treatment works best in real-world settings.
