| Dr. Eugene Litwak focuses on how various types of groups impact health, seeking to identify which causes of death are best prevented by informal groups such as families,
and those best prevented by professionals and formal organizations. Within this framework he has studied older people to determine which type of informal group, spouse, family, friend, or neighbor, might best provide help. In terms of education, Dr. Litwak has researched the optimal administrative structure for encouraging school reading levels and math achievement in addition to establishing health clinics. He also has been concerned with the optimal ways for health educators to work within communities to solve various types of health problems.
