Obesity prevention in the UK: Generating empirical psychological and behavioural evidence to support public health policy progress

这一博士生将回答有关心理和行为过程的新问题，这些过程决定了食品营销和户外食品部门如何以及为什么会导致暴饮暴食和肥胖。通过这样做，它将为公共卫生政策的制定提供信息，并制定英国政府减少肥胖的战略。该项目将涉及四项主要的实证研究，其中两项涉及外出食品部门的消费者行为心理，两项涉及食品营销对饮食和与饮食有关的行为的影响。在这四项研究中，我们还将通过从社会经济(SES)领域招募参与者来考虑不平等的作用。

This PhD studentship will answer novel questions about the psychological and behaviouralprocesses that determine how and why both food marketing and the out of home food sectorcontribute to overeating and obesity. In doing so, it will inform public health policy developmentsand shape UK Government strategies to reduce obesity. This project will involve four main empirical research studies, two addressing the psychology of consumer behaviour in the out of home food sector and two addressing the impact of food marketing on eating and eating-related behaviours. Across the four studies we will also consider the role of inequalities by recruiting participants from across the socioeconomic (SES) spectrum.
