Diverse. Interdisciplinary. Evidence-based.

Our goal is to promote and protect the public's health and quality of life. To achieve this, we are committed to a population-based and multidisciplinary approach to public health and combine > methods from diverse disciplines. Methods refer to the planning, design and implementation of population-based studies. This applies to the study design, data collection and analysis, as well as the use of evidence- and theory-based approaches in the planning and development of interventions that are applicable to the entire population.

We appreciate your interest and encourage you to contact us personally with any inquiries.
