The Office of Disease Prevention (ODP) is the lead office at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) responsible for assessing, facilitating, and stimulating research in disease prevention, and disseminating the results of this research to improve public health. Prevention is preferable to treatment, and research on disease prevention is an important part of the NIH's mission. The knowledge gained from this research leads to stronger clinical practice, health policy, and community health programs.
This webinar series features prevention research experts and thought leaders from across the globe who are making advances in public health. It highlights research topics including comorbidity, screening, health and housing, health disparities, and prevention research capacity building.
The goal of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Pathways to Prevention (P2P) workshop is to identify and assess methodological and scientific weaknesses in a selected scientific area, and suggest next steps to move the field forward. A systematic evidence review, which provides an objective description of the state of the science, a summary of ongoing research, and information on research needs, serves as the foundation for each 1 1/2-day workshop.
