PBS explores 'Causes'

PBS's "Unnatural Causes" (10 p.m. Thursdays on WQED starting next week and running through April 17) explores the socio-economic and racial inequities in the health of Americans and searches for the causes.

Carnegie Mellon University psychology professor Sheldon Cohen will be among the experts interviewed for "Unnatural Causes." He appears in the premiere episode next week.

At 8 p.m. April 3, WQED will broadcast (and stream at WQED.org) a one-hour town hall meeting with the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Minority Health, offering a local angle on the subjects covered in "Unnatural Causes." "On Q" regulars Chris Moore, Michael Bartley and Tonia Caruso will moderate the discussion.
