Population health is concerned with the study of social and environmental influences on physical and mental health and well-being.

It is widely acknowledged that ‘up-stream’ influences such as early life experiences, the social and economic conditions in which people live and environmental exposures affect wellbeing. Population health research aims to improve the health of the public through clinical, public health interventions or dental public health including those that may be delivered outside conventional health services. The Economics of Population Health (EPH) programme at HEHTA is concerned with the development of methods and related empirical work associated with the economic evaluation of such ‘up-stream’ population health interventions.
