CEEHD - Ethnicity, Health & Diversity

[c]



UK Centre for Evidence in Ethnicity, Health and Diversity

The UK Centre for Evidence in Ethnicity, Health and Diversity (CEEHD) was established in 2001 as part of the ESRC research network for evidence-based policy and practice.  The Centre is located in the Warwick Medical School and The Mary Seacole Research Centre at De Montfort University, Leicester.

CEEHD supports interdisciplinary, collaborative research in the field of ethnicity and health, working with Trusts, community groups and other academic centres.

Aim

To ensure that research evidence is able to contribute more fully to the development of effective and efficient policies and practices in the important area of ethnicity and health.

Objectives

  • To provide a UK facility which undertakes reviews of existing evidence to inform policy and practice at national, regional and local levels
  • To develop knowledge access pathways for diverse communities in the public, private and voluntary sectors so that the best use is made of the existing evidence
  • To identify key gaps in research knowledge and encourage researchers to contribute more fully to addressing these
  • To develop a facility which can provide a national resource on available research (including grey literature) in the area of ethnicity and health
