How to Contact or Support the SDSU Institute for Public Health

Updated

The SDSU Institute for Public Health (IPH) provides two direct paths on its website: a Contact Us section for inquiries and a Make a Donation option for those who want to support its work. Both are reachable from the site's main navigation at iph.sdsu.edu. Because the site does not publish specific phone numbers, email addresses, or donation instructions in the material available here, you should open those sections directly to get the current details.

Contacting IPH

The site's Contact Us section is the intended entry point for questions about IPH's programs, research, or training offerings. The site functions as the official IPH presence at San Diego State University, so it is the appropriate place to look for current contact information rather than relying on third-party listings.

To use it:

  1. Go to iph.sdsu.edu.
  2. Open the Contact Us section from the site navigation.
  3. Use the contact details listed there for your specific inquiry.

The site does not specify response times, office hours, or a preferred contact method in the available material, so treat whatever the Contact Us section currently lists as the authoritative channel.

Supporting IPH

If you want to contribute financially, the site offers a Make a Donation option. This is the route the site itself presents for supporting IPH's mission.

  1. Go to iph.sdsu.edu.
  2. Select Make a Donation.
  3. Follow the instructions provided there.

The available material does not state accepted payment methods, whether donations are tax-deductible, or any suggested amounts. Check the donation page itself for those specifics before giving.

What IPH Does

Knowing what you would be contacting or supporting helps frame both actions. IPH has operated at San Diego State University since 1992, with a focus on program evaluation and training. Its online course offerings include Program Evaluation, PH 101, and Program Planning.

The institute also conducts community-facing research. One current example: the San Diego LGBTQIA+ Needs Assessment: Cancer Prevention and Healthcare (September 2025), conducted by the Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego in collaboration with IPH. The assessment aims to better understand and elevate the cancer prevention and healthcare needs of LGBTQIA+ communities in San Diego County.

Checking for Updates

The site is the official source for IPH news, resources, and new publications such as the September 2025 needs assessment. If you are looking for the latest contact details, donation instructions, or newly released work, check iph.sdsu.edu directly rather than relying on cached or summarized versions, since contact and donation information can change without notice.
