West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership is inviting organisations to submit a research proposal looking at the social and economic cost of obesity in West Yorkshire.
Obesity is a complex public health issue. In West Yorkshire, 27% of adults live with obesity, with one in five children living with overweight or obesity at reception age (4-5 years) and one in three children by year six (10-11 years).
See the commissioning brief for more information including objectives, scope, methodology, and deliverables for research focused on understanding the social and economic costs of obesity in West Yorkshire. This research will be informed by a trauma-informed approach, acknowledging the potential psychological and emotional factors contributing to and resulting from obesity.
The deadline for expressions of interest is Thursday, 1 August 2024. We will select which agency/partner has been successful in their application on Monday 19 August with a view to the research starting on Tuesday 10 September.
