Policy

We work with policy-makers

We work intensely with policy agencies on research questions and data collection. We have written numerous policy reports based on policy mandates with the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health, the Cantonal Office of Public Health in Vaud, the Swiss Health Observatory (OBSAN), health insurers, and university hospitals such as the University Hospital Geneva (HUG).

Our work has been cited in summary policy reports by the World Health Organization, the Lancet Commission on Vaccine Refusal, Acceptance, and Demand in the USA, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and the World Bank. We have discussed the implications of our research with the Dutch, Swiss, and Spanish governments and have taken part in policy task forces.
