Population dynamic modelling of the public health and health care cost implications of intervention to prevent lifestyle-related disease and injury [ 2012 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Linda Cobiac (Principal investigator)

Brief description There is growing interest in a more preventive model of health care in Australia. More than a third of poor health is attributable to risky behaviours, such as tobacco and alcohol use, obesity and poor nutrition, with lower socio-economic and Indigenous populations particularly affected. This research will develop new techniques to identify intervention strategies that should be given funding priority to achieve maximum improvement in population health and reduce the health inequalities.
