Tobacco Control Research Group
Three year PhD studentship in Health Policy: Corporate influence over European public health policy
Public events
Postgraduate modules in Tobacco Control (UKCTCS)
Our multidisciplinary group produces high quality research that evaluates the impact of public health policy and the impact of broader policy changes including investment and trade liberalisation on health. This research is used to inform future policies.
We also examine the influence of major corporations on health behaviours, health outcomes and policy, thereby expanding our understanding of the corporation as a determinant of health.
Our group is part of the UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies (UKCTCS), one of the five UK Public Health Research Centres of Excellence.
