Mariko Kanamori ｜ JSPS Research Fellow (PD) ｜ Public Health,Social Epidemiology
My research has focused on health inequalities and social determinants of health, specifically the suicide gap between urban and rural areas, and the underlying social structure. The project examines how residential contextual level factors differently influence suicide by country of birth. Also, I just have launched a project on the coexistence of humans and animals from the perspective of social capital and mental health.
