Development Centre for Population Health

The University of Leicester Development Centre for Population Health will improve the health of populations and reduce health inequalities through world-leading applied health research, engagement with communities, policymakers and the public with the aim of translating evidence into tangible policy-change improving and reducing variations in care and outcomes.

3. Design, delivery and evaluation of public health interventions

Initial topic-specific themes for the University of Leicester Development Centre for Population Health will include:
