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.

公共卫生研究是为了寻找新的和更有效的方法来改善人口的健康和预防疾病，并确保健康在人口中更公平地传播。这对可持续的卫生保健系统至关重要，并提供经济和社会效益。该研究中心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，缩小健康状况最差的人与其他人之间的差距。该研究中心是英格兰东北部的一个研究中心，汇集了五所大学的教职员工和学生的专业知识（达勒姆、纽卡斯尔、诺森比亚、桑德兰和提赛德），并与国民保健服务、当地政府、志愿者和社区部门的同事密切合作。“翻译”研究中心的研究结果，使其能够满足这些部门的需要，是研究中心使命的核心。随着公共卫生服务在当前政府的国民保健制度改革下转移到地方当局，卫生部进行研究的背景正在发生变化。因此，这是一个特别重要的时间，这个急需的“翻译”研究。研究中心以各种方式进行研究，但这些可以概括为“开发、评估和翻译”。“在我们的大部分研究中，这些活动是与公共卫生服务部门平行进行的，因此研究结果对在第一线工作的人立即有用。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，试图开发鼓励人们吃更健康的饮食，多运动，戒烟和适量饮酒的方法（行为改变研究计划）。人们在一生中都会面临这些问题，因此，儿童基金会的研究方案通过研究生命过程中的关键时期反映了这一点，首先探讨如何在生命早期提供一个健康的开端，通过怀孕的关键时期，一直到成长中的家庭。例如，我们正在进行研究，帮助家长认识到他们的孩子是否超重，通过舞蹈在学校提供有趣的运动，并探索学校膳食指南变化的影响。这项研究方案（早期生活和青春期）一直持续到青少年时期，重点是努力减少酗酒、吸毒和性健康不良的风险。与生命早期平行，也选择了维持和改善老年健康（健康老龄化研究方案），因为这些阶段对影响长期健康的重要性。在该方案中，我们的目标是找到促进健康长寿和更积极生活的方法，该研究所的另一个研究方向（复杂系统研究方案）将试图了解卫生系统目前正在发生的变化及其对人民的影响，评估为改善人民的健康和福祉而采取的战略。它还将评估用于规范公共和私营部门促进健康的政策，健康不平等研究方案开展研究，以更好地了解为什么健康状况最差的人与其他人之间存在差距，并缩小这一差距。我们主要关注生活在较贫困地区的人们，那里往往有更高水平的许多疾病，从感染到心脏病和癌症。当然，许多研究成果并不总是立即被应用于真实的世界。这就是我的不同之处。卫生部与实地提供公共卫生服务的机构携手合作，使他们能够更快地获得研究成果，以制定对人们生活产生实际影响的物有所值的政策。以及作为核心的ESTA的使命和目标，这一挑战也通过转化研究计划取得进展。
