Advising Policymakers on GBD:

A Norwegian Case Study

Featuring

Dr. Simon Øverland

Director, Centre for Disease, Norwegian Institute of Public Health

Dr. Ann Kristin Knudsen

Senior Researcher, Centre for Disease Burden. Norwegian Institute of Public Health

In Norway, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) is advising policymakers on GBD. As a result, Norwegian policymakers are now using GBD to guide decision-making at national and regional levels. Also, NIPH is partnering with IHME to use Norway's vast data resources to improve GBD estimates.

Join us to hear from Dr. Simon Øverland, Director of the Centre for Disease at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and a professor at the University of Bergen, and Dr. Ann Kristin Knudsen, Senior Researcher in the Department of Health Promotion at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. Drs. Øverland and Knudsen will discuss how Norway uses GBD data to inform policies and the role that NIPH has played in facilitating evidence-based policymaking. They will also highlight lessons learned and future plans.
