Studies that CEDAR is involved in, past and present, can be grouped into four categories:
- studies that CEDAR has led or is a co-investigator on, which involve new data collection
- those where we are adding new information to existing studies to answer wider questions
- those where we are using existing datasets from other studies
- modelling studies, which use existing data to run simulations in order to help answer questions that no single empirical study can answer
You can read about how our research activities are enabling us to deliver our objectives in the Research section.
