Public health and health policy research are vital in addressing health disparities, promoting health equity, and improving population health outcomes. This field encompasses the study of health determinants, health behaviors, healthcare systems, and policy interventions to reduce disparities and improve access to quality healthcare for all individuals. Research in public health and health policy aims to generate evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, healthcare practitioners, and community stakeholders to inform the development and implementation of effective interventions and policies that advance health equity.

The Council for Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (CONEM) is committed to advancing research in public health and health policy, specifically focusing on translating research findings into public health interventions and policy recommendations to address health disparities and promote health equity. Through its research initiatives, CONEM aims to contribute to understanding social determinants of health, assess the effectiveness of public health interventions, and advocate for policies prioritizing health equity and social justice.

Public health and health policy research encompasses a multidisciplinary approach, integrating insights from epidemiology, health economics, sociology, political science, and implementation science. Through collaborative research efforts, CONEM endeavors to translate scientific discoveries into actionable recommendations for public health practice and policy development.
