Population Health Ethics

Population health research and practice are primarily concerned with the health of populations rather than of individuals, and with the prevention of disease rather than with its treatment. Effective public health interventions also, often, require collective action including the involvement of governments and international organisations. The Ethox Centre has an interest in research on the ethical aspects of research and practice in population health.
