Community Action to Prevent Chronic Diseases - now renamed Community Interventions for Health
Introduction
Community Action to Prevent Chronic Diseases – CAPCoD – is the name originally given to OxHA's community action arm – putting the evidence on prevention of the epidemic of chronic disease into practice. The programme was renamed Community Interventions for Health in May 2007, and for up-to-date information please click here >>
