Brief description The focus of the Partnership Centre on Systems Perspectives on Preventing Lifestyle-Related Chronic Health Problems (the Prevention Partnership Centre) will be the inter-relation of health and non-health systems with regard to primary prevention and chronic health problems. Day-to-day, the Prevention Partnership Centre will concentrate on the range of programs, policies, funding structures, data systems, workforce capacities, evidence gaps, implementation experiences, collaborations, accountability mechanisms and even the language of prevention itself, that make it easier or harder to support healthy lifestyle choices and promote health equity. It will undertake an integrated program of work designed to enable policy and program developers to make better decisions about the strategies and structures to prevent lifestyle-related chronic conditions in Australia.
