Research objective: Research to understand and deliver prevention, timely diagnosis and appropriate intervention for people at increased risk of poor health (in particular obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, mental health and cancer) to prevent excess deaths, improve population health (including the health of the working age population), reduce disparities and reduce reliance on health and social care.
Priority research topics: Developing, evaluating and understanding how to implement interventions which prevent health problems developing, accurately identify those at risk, effectively manage risk factors and treat conditions early, and manage health problems to prevent severe disease in the 4 areas set out below.

Funded by: MRC
The project conducts research to prevent disease, improve health, and close the gap between those with poor health and the rest of the population, aligning with the objective of identifying those at risk.
A number of common and long-term health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure display no signs even at advanced stages and so people may carry the disease without being aware of it. In fact, evidence shows ...

The project investigates the effects of tailored health warnings on socio-economic behaviors and health outcomes, addressing the importance of early diagnosis and lifestyle changes for health conditions.
Our mission is to build capacity for public health research, strengthen the evidence for public health policy and practice and to improve the health of the population. Our aims are to ensure that our research is excellen...
