Centre for Healthier Lives
Taking on global challenges with an interdisciplinary approach
Human behaviours have major impacts on the environment and health of our planet.
Health-related disciplines operating largely in isolation cannot meet these challenges.
These global challenges are
the focus for our Centre for Healthier Lives
.
We're taking an interdisciplinary approach to finding solutions to improving human health and planetary health.
Novel interventions
We're the
first UK centre of excellence
for research on interventions to change connected behaviours.
We'll improve public health through developing, implementing and evaluating
novel interventions that change 'lifestyle-related' behaviours
. We'll also aim to intervene to
change behaviours that threaten the wider environment
.
We will deliver these novel interventions through better processes of:
understanding
development
implementation
evaluation
stratification
translation
