These are:1. How can we best measure behaviour change in relation to outcomes of public health education provided to people with learning disabilities?2. Which methods best achieve inclusive public health research with people with learning disabilities and community organisations?3. How does a public health community education programme such as Beat the Bugs equip people with learning disabilities with knowledge and confidence to manage their hygiene, self-care and antibiotic use?
