The objective of the DEDIPAC KH is "to understand the determinants, at both the individual and group levels, regarding dietary, physical activity and sedentary behaviours using a broad multidisciplinary approach, including biological, ecological, psychological, sociological, economic and other socio-economic perspectives and their interrelationships, and to translate this knowledge into a more effective promotion of a healthy diet and physical activity." 

The work in DEDIPAC is divided into three Thematic Areas (TAs):

TA 1: Assessment and harmonisation of methods for future research, surveillance and monitoring, and evaluation of interventions and policies

TA 2: Determinants of dietary, physical activity and sedentary behaviours across the life course and in vulnerable groups

TA 3: Evaluation and benchmarking of public health and policy interventions aimed at improving dietary, physical activity and sedentary behaviours
