Promoting evidence-based health

The Forum for Evidence-Based Preventative Health strengthens research and exchange between science, politics, and society – promoting prevention based on solid evidence rather than opinions. 

How are scientific findings integrated into health policy? This is one of the central questions we address. Our research focuses on how scientific evidence is applied in practice, where myths and misinformation arise, and why a critical, transparent discourse is essential for effective prevention.
You want to do more than attend our trainings and want to actively contribute to the conversation? Then become a member of the Forum and share your experience and insights.
