Overview

Public Health research at University of Glasgow plays a vital role in understanding the impact of biological, social, behavioural, economic, cultural and environmental factors on our health. Our interests span medical, environmental and social sciences and offer students an opportunity to train in a unique interdisciplinary culture and environment.

Features

The advent of large scale data sets from health services, the environment, public services and the private sector is heralding something of a revolution in approaches to public health.

For the first time, we are potentially able to see both how people’s health is created, maintained or damaged over time, but also the impact of interventions and policies aimed at improving and protecting health.

Programme Structure

Specific areas of interest include:

the potential for different aspects of environment to positively influence population health and reduce health inequalities

the differences between chronological and biological ageing and its influence on coronary arterial disease

evaluating the effects of legislation on population health, such as smoke free legislation

understanding the interaction of genetic and non-genetic risk factors on population health

the evaluation of complex public health interventions

the impact on health of supporting disadvantaged groups into employment
