Using Multinational Population Health Data to Improve Prediction of Mortality and Chronic Disease Risk
EF 2015-16
Résumé
It is important for health planners and policy makers to understand how individual health behaviours such as smoking, alcohol, diet and exercise influence the health of a country. This project uses population health survey data and prediction risk tools developed in Ontario to measure and compare the effect of these health behaviours on mortality and disease in Canada, the United States and Scotland. Country-specific tools to assess the effect of health behaviours will help to inform and improve strategic health care planning and preventative strategies in these countries.
