Research Unit Evidence-based Public Health
Lead: Prof. Dr. Eva Rehfuess
The working group focuses on key concepts and methods in public health and how they are applied in practice – both in research and in teaching. One focus is on the development, implementation and evaluation of population-based public health interventions. We collect data, analyze routine data and produce systematic reviews, working at local, national and international levels. To ensure the transfer of research findings, we work closely with policy and practice actors wherever possible.
