The Lausanne Center for Health Economics, Behavior, and Policy, LCHE, at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) promotes research, teaching, and policy advice in the fields of health economics, behavior, and policy.

The interdisciplinary center brings together researchers of the Center for Primary Care and Public Health (Unisanté), the Faculty of Biology and Medicine (CHUV-FBM), and the Faculty of Business and Economics (HEC). Find out more about the Center.


We are collaborating with the University of Southern California to gather expert perspectives on research priorities for policies and interventions addressing Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Alzheimer’s Disease-Related Dementias (ADRD) as part of the Gateway Exposome Coordinating Center, GECC.

Your expertise can help identify critical gaps and shape future research priorities.

We invite you to complete a short survey (5 minutes): https://redcap.link/policysurvey

By participating, you will:

  • Contribute to advancing dementia research.
  • Help define GECC’s research agenda for AD/ADRD.

Your insights are invaluable, and we appreciate your input!
