Dr. Heinze is an Associate Professor of Health Behavior & Health Equity at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. His research investigates how community contexts influence disparities in violence and other risk outcomes from an ecological perspective that includes individual, interpersonal, and contextual influences on development. He is particularly interested in structural features of school and neighborhood context and policy that perpetuate inequity in violence and firearm outcomes, but also how these institutions can serve as a setting for intervention.
