Aarhus University
The Department of Public Health at Aarhus University works to promote public health. They conduct research into the health challenges facing society – to promote health and to prevent, treat and alleviate disease. They collaborate and share our knowledge with citizens, decision-makers, business and industry, practitioners and other researchers – in municipalities, regions and both nationally and internationally. The Applied Public Health Research Group explores, describes and analyzes how professionals and citizens manage health and public health issues.
