This research will contribute to a body of knowledge that informs government policy and falls under a National Research Priority - Promoting and Maintaining Good Health. Obesity is a serious health problem among adult Australians and the situation is likely to worsen if left unchecked. The first task in addressing this issue is to identify who is at risk. In this project we will use multiple and robust techniques to examine this issue. Our research will therefore help in targeting public resources to those that can really benefit, as we hypothesise markets in health do not clear efficiently for a multitude of reasons.

这项研究将有助于形成一个知识体系，为政府政策提供信息，并属于国家研究重点——促进和保持良好健康。肥胖在澳大利亚成年人中是一个严重的健康问题，如果不加以控制，情况可能会恶化。解决这一问题的首要任务是确定谁有风险。在这个项目中，我们将使用多种健壮的技术来检查这个问题。因此，我们的研究将有助于将公共资源瞄准那些真正受益的人，因为我们假设卫生市场由于多种原因而无法有效清理。
