TEXAS RESEARCH, ANALYTICS, & INNOVATIONS LAB (TRAIL)  

The Texas Research, Analytics, and Innovations Lab (TRAIL), housed within the Texas A&M School of Public Health, utilizes expertise in health-related research methodology, measurement, and program evaluation to investigate and address lifestyle and socio-ecological impacts on health risk behaviors across the life-course. These efforts attempt to understand the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of different evidence-based programs and innovative solutions for people of all ages. TRAIL serves as a collaborative entity to foster new and sustainable partnerships between academic institutions, the public health system, the aging services network, the healthcare system, and the general public.
