Evidence-Based Public Health: Concepts and Methods

The Academic Working Group for Public Health Policy & Administration at the recently established Pettenkofer School of Public Health, University of Munich (LMU), the Institute for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology, LMU and the Bremen Institute for Prevention Research and Social Medicine, Bremen University are jointly organising the international workshop Evidence-Based Public Health: Concepts and Methods, which will take place in Munich, Germany on 17th and 18th November 2010.

The Bavarian Academy of Sciences, located within the Royal Residence, is kindly hosting the workshop.

The workshop has three objectives:

• advance exchange among researchers and practitioners interested in evidence-based public health
• promote dialogue on concepts and methods for evidence-based public health
• learn about and advance methods for quality appraisal and intervention theory

The first day of the workshop will be dedicated to a general exchange on current developments in the field of evidence-based public health. The second day will focus on two specific methodological aspects of public health evidence synthesis: quality appraisal of individual studies and intervention theory.

We look forward to seeing you in Munich!
