Population dynamic modelling of the public health and health care cost implications of intervention to prevent lifestyle-related disease and injury

在澳大利亚，人们对一种更具预防性的保健模式越来越感兴趣。超过三分之一的健康状况不佳可归因于吸烟和饮酒、肥胖和营养不良等危险行为，社会经济地位较低的人口和土著人口尤其受影响。这项研究将开发新的技术，以确定应该优先资助的干预战略，以最大限度地改善人口健康和减少健康不平等。

There is growing interest in a more preventive model of health care in Australia. More than a third of poor health is attributable to risky behaviours, such as tobacco and alcohol use, obesity and poor nutrition, with lower socio-economic and Indigenous populations particularly affected. This research will develop new techniques to identify intervention strategies that should be given funding priority to achieve maximum improvement in population health and reduce the health inequalities.
