摘要

The remit of the National institute for prevention and health education (Inpes) is to implement public health programs, provide expert advice on prevention and health promotion and ensure the development of health education across the country. One of the major features that allows Inpes to carry out its mandate with success is the identification, support and involvement in research, together with the evaluation of this research (L.1417-5 of the Code of Public Health). In its 10 years of existence, Inpes has supported more than 150 research projects. These funded projects involve scientific discussion (conferences, seminars), understanding and observation (surveys, studies), and the evaluation of preventive action.
