“The Prevention
Research Centre is home to a group of scientists, including
sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists and epidemiologists, who
work collaboratively across disciplines on understanding how the
environment (including laws, economies, social circumstances and
normative settings) affects health behaviours. A primary focus is on
the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs; and how such
consumption results in short- and long-term harm. The goal of this
research is to identify aspects of the environment that can be
changed to improve health.
The
Centre's emphasis on the environment places the focus on how a
person’s health-related behaviour is shaped by family, school,
work, and community policies, norms, and histories. Our research
naturally leads to the development and testing of prevention programs
and policies that can be implemented at local, state and national
levels”
