What is Prevention Research?
Prevention research aims to better understand health-promoting behaviors, to evaluate prevention actions and tools, and to sustainably improve public health policies and practices.
It includes clinical research, epidemiological studies and action research combining science, prevention and field action.
A search open to everyone
Prevention research relies on the commitment of volunteers.
By participating in a study, everyone can make a concrete contribution to the advancement of knowledge in health.
Participating in a study means:
- to better understand one's health and risk factors,
- benefit from personalized monitoring and feedback depending on the projects,
- to contribute to research that benefits everyone's health.
The studies are conducted in strict compliance with:
- ethical and regulatory standards,
- data protection,
- and are subject to a Committee for the Protection of Persons (CPP)
Prevention research supports companies and organizations that wish to:
- evaluate prevention programs,
- testing innovative tools or devices (applications, connected objects, services…),
- contribute to action research projects.
Our teams provide:
- scientific and methodological expertise,
- regulatory support,
- the implementation of clinical, epidemiological or action research studies,
- the analysis and evaluation of the results.
We collaborate with institutional and non-profit organizations to:
- co-constructing research projects rooted in local areas,
- testing devices in real-world conditions,
- strengthen the impact of public health policies,
- to respond to joint calls for projects.
The projects are conceived as partnership approaches, from design to the delivery of results.
Our research areas in prevention
Each project addresses a specific scientific question, directly related to public health issues.
Our scientific approach
Prevention research at the Pasteur Institute of Lille is based on:
- a rigorous methodology,
- multidisciplinary approaches,
- a strong link between research, prevention and fieldwork.
We are involved in the entire research cycle:
- definition of research hypotheses,
- identification of evaluation indicators
- protocol design,
- implementation of the studies,
- data analysis,
- feedback and operational recommendations.
