Effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and equity of strategies to reduce the burden of obesity-related conditions [ 2008 - 2010 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Helen Walls (Principal investigator)

Brief description Decision-makers need a systematic, coordinated approach to the targeting and prioritisation of preventive strategies. But the evidence base for obesity interventions is for the most part small, narrow in approach, limited in impact, and lacking in cost-effectiveness and equity information. This thesis will add to the evidence base regarding the nature of the obesity epidemic in Australia and internationally and the relative cost-effectiveness of strategies to reduce the obesity burden.
