ActEarly is a prevention research programme that aims to create City Collaboratory testbeds to support the identification, implementation and evaluation of upstream public health interventions within a whole system city setting.
ActEarly will focus on early life, in recognition of childhood and adolescence being such critical periods for influencing lifelong health and wellbeing.
