Public engagement and prioritisation of health care interventions; in particular public attitudes towards prevention programmes.
The main aims of the research will be to gain a greater understanding of public attitudes towards health service priority setting in respect of preventative programmes. By undertaking qualitative research and using various public engagement methods, I hope to gain a better understanding of what people value in terms of prevention programmes, and how this influences support for investment in prevention programmes.
Supervisors: Professor Iestyn Williams and Professor Martin Powell
