The role of the INTREPID Consortium in the European DEDIPAC-KH project

INTREPID (INTegrated Research on Eating and Physical activity Interventions and Drivers) is a research consortium including four Italian research teams (University of Bologna, Verona, Sapienza in Rome and Catholic in Piacenza), operating within the broader framework of the DEDIPAC-KH Joint Action (Determinants of Diet and Physical Activity Knowledge Hub). The main objective of the DEDIPAC-KH is the development of an international and interdisciplinary network of researchers on dietary, physical activity and sedentary behaviours, related determinant research and policy interventions. More specifically, the INTREPID consortium research aimed at the following specific objectives: (1) Secondary data analysis on the determinants of diets (within Dedipac task 2.1.2) (2) Secondary data analysis on inequalities on the socio-economic determinants of diets, with a focus on the effects of the current economic crisis (task 2.4.2) (3) Evaluation of nutrition policy and physical activity interventions using the DEDIPAC toobox (task 3.2.2)
