The Public Health Research
Consortium (PHRC) brings together senior researchers from
11 UK institutions in a new integrated programme of research.
This aims to strengthen
the evidence base for interventions to improve health, with
a strong emphasis on tackling socioeconomic inequalities in
health.
The PHRC is built around
a set of research projects led by senior researchers with
expertise in public health, social epidemiology, sociology,
survey and evaluation research, social marketing and health
economics.
The Consortium links teams
across eight universities, a survey research agency, a children's
charity and a Public Health Observatory (PHO), and is directed
by Hilary Graham (University of York).
The PHRC is funded by the Department
of Health Policy Research Programme (DH PRP). Its research
programme has been developed in consultation with the DH PRP
and is informed by current priority needs identified by DH
policy teams.
In line with Choosing Health and the broader
health inequalities agenda, it focuses on major health determinants.
Our programme includes projects on smoking, obesity and its
associated risk factors, and, as an important wider determinant,
the workplace. It also includes cross-cutting projects and
projects to support the translation of evidence into policy
and practice, and to apply learning from projects on our chosen
themes of smoking, obesity and the workplace to other important
determinants of health.
