The Epidemiology of Lanarkshire

Common Health Catalyst aimed to conduct early research to inform the development of a community research consortium addressing health disparities in Lanarkshire. The collaborative project undertook preparatory work to contextualise and comprehend the past and present health profile of the area. The objective was to enhance research capacities and capabilities on health disparities across the public, community, and voluntary sectors in Lanarkshire. The ultimate goal was to better equip partners with the tools and knowledge to address drivers of inequity at a local level through a variety of research and participatory approaches.

The project sought to create the conditions and partnerships necessary to attract future research investment into Lanarkshire and its communities.
