The FOPH launches research projects on the theme noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). The lines of research are regularly examined and, if necessary, modified.
An effective policy on NCDs requires a scientific basis. Regular surveys and specific studies provide the knowledge required to continuously adjust the measures according to the new context.
Knowledge is lacking, particularly with regard to prevention in the area of care. This is to be remedied. It is essential to encourage the transfer of knowledge to practice. Targeted promotion, financing and scientific support of projects are major challenges.
Here you will find current research reports on NCDs (in French, German or Italian).
