Public Health Nutrition

Diese Seite auf Deutsch.

Our work focuses on the prevention of diet-related non-communicable diseases, with a particular focus on policies to support healthy and sustainable diets on a population level. In our research, we use a broad spectrum of methods, conducting qualitative, mixed-methods and quasi-experimental studies, as well as evidence syntheses, including systematic reviews, scoping reviews and public health guidelines. We work closely with policy and practice stakeholders to ensure the relevance and impact of our work.
