Our Evidence Briefs are succinct summaries of our research findings for policymakers and practitioners, developed in collaboration with our partners. We are also developing data visualisation and other interactive tools to give insight into public health data.
If you have comments or questions, please contact Oliver on ocf26@cam.ac.uk. You can also contact Oliver if you would like printed copies of any of the pdfs.
Please also see our evidence submissions to policy and guidance bodies.
