Prevention

Prevention is becoming increasingly important in German healthcare. Against the backdrop of demographic change, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases and mounting healthcare costs, health policy strategies and care concepts are increasingly focusing on measures designed to prevent illness and promote health.


What the IGES Institut does in the field of prevention:

The IGES Institut provides comprehensive research and consulting services in the field of prevention. Our expertise ranges from analysing epidemiological data and risk factors to developing evidence-based prevention programmes and evaluating preventive measures and interventions. In this context, we always take into account the findings from the health sciences and the current health policy setting.

Our evidence-based approach and the combination of different methodological tools enable us to assess prevention potential comprehensively and to develop effective, economically viable solutions for promoting the health of the population as a whole or of individual target groups.
