Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Katrina Champion (Principal investigator)

Brief description Chronic disease is the major cause of death in Australia. This fellowship will develop and evaluate the first online program to simultaneously target the “Big 6” risk factors for chronic disease: smoking, physical inactivity, alcohol use, poor diet, sedentary behaviour and unhealthy sleep among adolescents. This program not only has the potential to improve the health of young Australians, but also to make a substantial public health impact by reducing the incidence of chronic disease.
