Social Solutions focuses on four priority areas: Substance Abuse and Mental Health, International Public Health, Sexual and Reproductive Health, and Gender and Special Populations Health.  Each area is able to develop and evaluate research based educational materials on specific topics.

Social Solutions also recognizes that certain populations often bear a disproportionate burden of disease, injury, and social and economic hardship.  In an effort to eliminate existing disparities, Social Solutions' staff dedicate themselves to improving the health and social welfare of these populations by prioritizing their needs.
