Public Health and the wider social determinants

Being part of the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Public Health we address important public health questions. Most of our research focuses on improving health and reducing health inequalities through the wider social and structural determinants of health. Interventions - including policies - can influence health and behaviour through changing people’s social and living environments. Our research contribution is to understand how to change those environments to improve health, and to understand how those environments may prevent or promote better health.
