Tackling the inequality and economic burden of obesity in Australian children [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description This project aims to develop a tool to inform decisions about where best to allocate resources to combat the childhood obesity problem in Australia most effectively, equitably and sustainably. Nationally representative cost, health, and demographic information will be used to construct this tool. The results from obesity treatment and prevention trials will then be applied to predict what the impact of rolling out these interventions will be on health outcomes, inequalities and the economy.
