Public health research is about finding new and more effective ways to improve the population's health and prevent disease, and ensure that health is more fairly spread in the population. This is essential to a sustainable health care system, and also provides economic and social benefits. Fuse carries out world-class research to prevent disease, and improve health and well-being for all and close the gap between those with the worst health and the rest of the population.Fuse is a research centre in the North East of England, bringing together the expertise of staff and students at five universities (Durham, Newcastle, Northumbria, Sunderland and Teesside) and working closely with colleagues in the NHS, local government, voluntary and community sectors. 'Translating' the findings of the research carried out by Fuse so that it can meet the needs of these sectors is central to Fuse's mission. The context in which Fuse conducts its research is changing, with public health services moving to local authorities under the current Government's NHS reforms. Consequently, this is a particularly important time for this much needed 'translational' research. Fuse conducts its research in various ways, but these can be summarised as "develop, evaluate, and translate." In much of our research, these activities are carried out in parallel, working with public health services, so that research findings are immediately useful to the people working in the front line. Our research aims to tackle the major health problems facing people today, including obesity, heart disease and cancers, by trying to develop ways to encourage people to eat a healthier diet, exercise more, stop smoking, and consume alcohol in moderation (behaviour change research programme). People face these problems right through their lives and Fuse's research programme reflects this by researching key periods in the life-course.This starts by exploring how to provide a healthy start in early life through the critical period of pregnancy, through to growing families. For example we are conducting research on helping parents to recognise when their child is overweight, providing fun exercise in schools through dance, and exploring the effects of changes in the guidelines for school dinners. This research programme (early life and adolescence) goes through to teenage years and focuses on trying to reduce the risks of alcohol, drugs, and poor sexual health. In parallel to early life, maintaining and improving health in older age (healthy ageing research programme) has also been selected because of the importance of these stages in life in influencing longer term health. In this programme, we aim to find ways to promote longer, more active lives in good health.Another of Fuse's research strands (complex systems research programme), will try and understand the changes currently taking place in the health system and how these will impact on people, assessing the strategies being used to try to improve the people's health and well-being. It will also evaluate the policies being used to regulate public and private sectors to promote health.The health inequalities research programme conducts research to understand better why there is a gap between those with the worst health and the rest of the population, and to narrow this gap. We focus primarily on people living in more deprived areas, where there tend to be higher levels of many illnesses, from infections to heart disease and cancer.Of course many research findings are not always immediately adopted into practice in the real world. That is where Fuse is different. Fuse works hand-in-hand with those delivering public health services on the ground, so that they can more quickly access research findings to create value-for-money policies that have a real-life impact on people's lives. As well as being core to Fuse's mission and aims, this challenge is also progressed through the translational research programme.

公共卫生研究就是寻找新的、更有效的方法来改善人群的健康和预防疾病，并确保健康在人群中更公平地传播。这对于可持续的医疗保健系统至关重要，并且还提供经济和社会效益。 Fuse 开展世界一流的研究，以预防疾病、改善所有人的健康和福祉，并缩小健康状况最差的人群与其他人群之间的差距。Fuse 是英格兰东北部的一个研究中心，汇集了五所大学（杜伦大学、纽卡斯尔大学、诺森布里亚大学、桑德兰大学和提赛德大学）的教职员工和学生的专业知识，并与 NHS、地方政府、志愿者和社区部门的同事密切合作。 “转化” Fuse 的研究成果，使其能够满足这些行业的需求，是 Fuse 使命的核心。 Fuse 进行研究的背景正在发生变化，根据当前政府的 NHS 改革，公共卫生服务已转移到地方当局。因此，对于这项急需的“转化”研究来说，现在是一个特别重要的时刻。 Fuse 以多种方式进行研究，但这些可以概括为“开发、评估和转化”。在我们的大部分研究中，这些活动都是与公共卫生服务部门合作并行进行的，因此研究结果立即对一线工作人员有用。我们的研究旨在解决当今人们面临的主要健康问题，包括肥胖、心脏病和癌症，方法是鼓励人们采取更健康的饮食、多运动、戒烟和适量饮酒（行为改变研究项目）。人们在一生中都会面临这些问题，Fuse 的研究计划通过研究生命历程中的关键时期来反映这一点。首先探索如何在生命早期、怀孕的关键时期以及成长中的家庭中提供一个健康的开端。例如，我们正在进行研究，帮助家长识别孩子何时超重，通过舞蹈在学校提供有趣的锻炼，并探索学校晚餐指南变化的影响。该研究计划（生命早期和青春期）一直持续到青少年时期，重点是努力降低酒精、毒品和不良性健康的风险。与早期生命并行，还选择了维持和改善老年健康（健康老龄化研究计划），因为生命中的这些阶段对于影响长期健康具有重要意义。在这个项目中，我们的目标是找到方法，以促进更长寿、更积极的健康生活。Fuse 的另一个研究方向（复杂系统研究项目）将尝试了解卫生系统目前正在发生的变化以及这些变化将如何影响人们，评估用于改善人们健康和福祉的策略。它还将评估用于监管公共和私营部门以促进健康的政策。健康不平等研究计划进行研究，以更好地了解健康状况最差的人和其他人群之间存在差距的原因，并缩小这一差距。我们主要关注生活在较贫困地区的人们，这些地区的许多疾病的发病率往往较高，从感染到心脏病和癌症。当然，许多研究结果并不总是立即应用于现实世界的实践。这就是 Fuse 的不同之处。 Fuse 与实地提供公共卫生服务的人员携手合作，以便他们能够更快地获取研究成果，从而制定对人们的生活产生实际影响的物有所值的政策。这一挑战不仅是 Fuse 使命和目标的核心，而且还通过转化研究计划取得进展。
