Prevention
This cross-cutting theme focuses on reducing the burden of preventable disease and tackling the structural causes of health inequalities across the South West.
Our research aims to help people live healthier lives and prevent ill health by tackling the factors that affect our health and wellbeing. We explore ways to prevent conditions such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease, while also addressing wider issues such as mental health, poverty, housing and access to support. Working with communities, health and care professionals and local organisations, we develop practical solutions that can improve health, reduce inequalities and make a difference across the South West and beyond.
