Warwick Centre for Applied Health Research and Delivery (CAHRD) is a global network bringing together individuals, disciplines and organisations to develop practical solutions to population health issues. One such project is Improving the health literacy of lay community health workers, which aims to ultimately lead to black African women being able to make the necessary positive decisions to improve their own and their children’s health.

Members of the centre work on reports which inform NICE guidelines and clinical trials that directly guide future decisions on health care guidance. An example of this is the Infectious Disease Dynamic Modelling in Health Protection study which aims to provide a programme of dynamic and health economic modelling that will underpin opinions and advice on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of interventions against infectious diseases in the UK.

Mental Health and Wellbeing works in the area of Population and Public Health through the following themes:

Sleep, Health and Society

Studying the implications of sleep disturbances on quantity and quality of sleep and ensuing daytime sleepiness, and determinants of physical and mental ill-health and general wellbeing.

Cardiovascular Health

Statistics & Epidemiology

The Statistics and Epidemiology group develop and apply innovative statistical and epidemiological methods for population and public health research. The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS) was one such development that enables the monitoring of mental wellbeing in the general population and the investigation of risk and protective factors.

We are also interested in the health and health-related behaviour of young people and the influence of schools on them, and developing research on the health risks and impacts from environmental changes (e.g. heatwaves, cold weather).
