Centre for Health Economics & Policy Innovation
Facing new challenges in a changing world We have reached the end of a very turbulent year, in which the entire ecosystem of health research has experienced radical changes. I would like to take stock of the challenges we have faced at the Centre for Health Economics & Policy Innovation (CHEPI), reflect on what we have been able to achieve, and look forward to the new role the Centre can play in the future post-pandemic and post-Brexit world. Based at Imperial College Business School and an integral part of the wider Imperial College research community, CHEPI has set itself the mission to research incentives and environments that encourage individuals and organisations to make healthenhancing decisions. This mission has remained at the forefront of our minds throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite unavoidable disruption, our work in established areas of interest for the centre has maintained, and even gathered, pace, thanks to the fantastic efforts of our faculty and staff. This includes work on the social and behavioural determinants of chronic non-communicable diseases; on the economic and social value of health; on health care labour markets; on innovation in health systems and medical care; on food environments and their impacts on people’s food choices and health; on price and non-price incentives for health and environmental sustainability. In those areas, we have continued to generate new findings and policy impacts from existing projects, and we have produced new research ideas to further expand the Centre’s project base. At the same time, we have been able to focus our efforts on understanding the health care and economic impacts of the pandemic and pandemic responses. This work has been complementary to that of the Faculty of Medicine and School of Public Health at Imperial College, with which CHEPI has consolidated its strong strategic partnerships. Amid a major economic and employment crisis, and great uncertainty about the future, one of CHEPI’s most remarkable achievements has been the continuing growth of its research staff and volume of activity. However, this leaves no room for complacency. As other academic research centres, CHEPI faces an increasingly competitive research funding environment, in which priorities have been rapidly changing and in which new rules, yet to be written, will reshape access to key sources of funding for international research in health policy and economics. This report illustrates the main developments in CHEPI’s work over the 2019 – 2020 academic year, up until the end of 2020, providing a snapshot of the people and projects that will take the Centre into a new phase of its existence.

COVID-19 pandemic response
• Dr Marisa Miraldo (m.miraldo@imperial.ac.uk) • Dr Laure de Preux (l.depreux@imperial.ac.uk)
Through primary research, patient and public engagement, and policy involvement, CHEPI has supported a number of initiatives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Dr Katharina Hauck (k.hauck@imperial.ac.uk)
Since early March, our researchers have contributed to the reports published by MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis, including the development of the Pandemic Planner, a hospital planning tool designed to estimate changes in hospital capacity, in response to different interventions dictating how patients are to be managed. We also supported the development of an economic model to evaluate the trade-off between reducing transmission, keeping schools and universities open, and stimulating the economy. This work identified strategies for economic growth and less economically productive sectors that could be prioritised for closure to reduce transmission. As the NHS began scaling up elective surgery, our team developed models to optimise scheduling to minimise loss of life. This model allocates individual beds in hospitals to either “cold” (preplanned) hospitalisations or to emergency admissions. Using data from NHS England we then demonstrated how optimising scheduling can both reduce costs and lives lost compared to current policies. The pandemic has also highlighted social and health inequalities across different socioeconomic groups. Dr Laure de Preux has obtained a grant from the Imperial College donor-led COVID-19 fund to explore how compliance to mobility restrictions during lockdown has varied across the country by different socioeconomic groups, and to understand the impact of this variance on health. Public engagement is also extremely important to gain contextual insights into how the pandemic is impacting the population. As part of a Wellcome Trust-funded initiative, Prof. Franco Sassi contributed to a Wellcome Trust working group tasked with the development of a standardised questionnaire on the impacts of COVID-19 and pandemic control measures in a range of health, social and economic domains, designed to be administered primarily in Wellcome Trust funded cohorts established in countries at different levels of income. CHEPI is also working in low and middleincome countries, to understand the repercussions of the pandemic on families and particularly children in disadvantaged circumstances.

Policy Impact Prof. Dame Carol Propper has been appointed to President Emmanuel Macron’s expert commission on major post-coronavirus economic challenges, chaired by Nobel Prize winner Jean Tirole and former IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard. As president of the Royal Economic Society, Prof. Dame Propper has Page 7 ofalso 18 been involved in the establishment of the ESRC Economics Observatory where she is a lead editor.
Addressing the global challenges of obesity and nutrition Obesity and nutrition have risen to the top of the health policy agenda in countries at all levels of income. CHEPI is at the forefront of research on policy approaches to mitigate the health and societal impacts of these rising global challenges. Prof. Franco Sassi leads a European Horizon 2020 consortium of 31 organisations across 16 countries, spanning academia, civil society and government, aimed at understanding the determinants of childhood obesity and evaluating actions to address them. The STOP (Science and Technology in childhood Obesity Policy) project contains 10 parallel streams of work, ranging from basic science research to policy analysis and stakeholder engagement. The project includes a randomised controlled trial in Sweden, Spain and Romania to test the effectiveness of a novel digital intervention to address obesity among young children from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. The project is also funding start-ups developing innovative ways of addressing childhood obesity. For example, Pennotec, a Welsh company, is pioneering the use of apple fibre paste as a fat and sugar replacement in school meals; FlavorID, is using artificial intelligence to understand food preferences and nudge consumer behaviour towards healthier choices; and SHIFT, a Londonbased meal delivery startup, are aiming to provide an innovative service of cold-delivered meals designed to provide healthier delivery options at affordable prices for low-income families. In collaboration with Imperial College School of Public Health and with the University of Bristol, CHEPI has received funding from the Health Foundation for two projects in the context of a new programme on the Social and Economic Value of Health. These projects focus on children and on
the environments in which they live, looking at ways in which obesity, and obesogenic influences from the environment, may affect human capital development. In the first project, we are analysing data from three longitudinal cohort studies in the UK and leveraging genetic and epigenetic biomarkers to explore causal pathways from childhood obesity to school performance, educational attainment, labour market and social participation outcomes. In the second project, Children’s Places, we are assessing whether healthier and less obesogenic environments can promote human capital development not only in individual children, but also in the wider community of which they are part. This work will actively engage teenagers using focus groups to understand the challenges they face in leading a healthy life. We have also explored the role of nutrition as an enabler of human capital development in SubSaharan Africa (Ghana) and in South Asia (India) through the work of Elisabetta Aurino, one of two Imperial College Research Fellows based at CHEPI, also supported by The British Academy and UKRI. Elisabetta’s work in this area includes the authorship of key chapters on child health and nutrition in the 3rd edition of the Disease Control Priorities publication.

Tackling chronic non-communicable diseases With heart disease, stroke and diabetes resulting in millions of deaths worldwide each year, CHEPI is working in South Asia, one of the most densely populated regions of the world, where these conditions place an enormous financial burden on the individuals they afflict, their families and the societies they live in, thus contributing to poverty, inequality and social instability. Through an NIHRfunded Global Health Research Unit, our team are collaborating closely with experts and clinical institutions in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka to address these issues. Our environmental mapping work, involving sending researchers into the field to collect information and photographs of retail outlets near homes and schools in South Asia has illustrated the majority of outlets heavily advertise unhealthy foods. Based on these findings, we are now piloting an intervention to encourage behaviour change among children, and their parents, to adopt a healthier lifestyle. While the most prevalent diseases often attract the most attention, given their burden on society, the
collective impact of rare diseases — those affecting only a small proportion of the population — is often overlooked. As part of a European-wide consortium, CHEPI is analysing historical Research & Development activity from across the pharmaceutical sector to highlight inequalities in drug development pipelines. In a separate project funded by the Department for Education on behalf of the Social Mobility Commission, a team of researchers led by Carmen Huerta found that obesity is one of several physical health conditions associated with reduced opportunities for moving up the social ladder during the life course, and with an increased risk of moving down the social ladder, in the United Kingdom.

Protecting our environment The impact of the environment on health is another area of focus for CHEPI. Following the development of a chapter for the Chief Medical Officers Annual Report, and the development of a tool to highlight the cost of air pollution, our researchers have been collaborating with colleagues in the School of Public Health and the Centre for Environmental Policy to understand the effect of climate change and air pollution on behaviour and healthcare utilisation. We are also
evaluating the impact of climate change policies on mental health with the aim of ensuring future policy decisions are informed by research on their implications for population health more broadly.

Improving public health communication The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the need for clear, consistent and effective messaging on public health. With the spread of misinformation together with rising numbers of people opposed to vaccinations, it is the role of public health experts to successfully communicate complex facts and information.
Leveraging real world data, Drink Up demonstrated the benefits of a structured multistakeholder social marketing strategy, involving over 60 corporations, NGOs, municipalities, federal administrative agencies, retailers and cultural influencers, to enact behaviour change and drive demand for healthier choices.
For several years, CHEPI has been championing the use of cutting-edge marketing techniques to promote healthier behaviour. In 2020, we launched our first executive training programme for public and private sector actors, providing them with tools to effectively influence consumer behaviour and improve population health.
Sessions were delivered by marketing and health policy experts at Imperial College, colleagues from the World Health Organisation, and industry leaders from Nielsen Media and Nielsen Neuroscience, who illustrated the real-world impact and influence of consumer giants on our behaviour. Participants came from all sectors including government, non-profit organisations, academic and research institutes, start-ups, and health care providers.
Over four days, our team led 31 participants from 15 countries through an in-depth online course on effective social marketing techniques based on the methodology used by the Drink Up campaign, an innovative marketing campaign in the US supported by the then First Lady, Michelle Obama, to encourage the population to drink more water.

Creating Demand for Health “Communication is a science, and cutting through the noise is a major challenge. With industry giants like Coca Cola and Nike influencing our behaviour and choices, often without our knowledge, it is vitally important to understand commercial marketing techniques to effectively communicate public health messages” Karen Watson, Chief Strategist behind Drink Up and Honorary Research Fellow at CHEPI

Innovation in healthcare As unforeseen events — such as pandemics, heatwaves or the financial crash — shock our healthcare system, CHEPI’s researchers are understanding how these disturbances catalyse change. Using the latest high-resolution anonymised individual-level datasets describing healthcare, our team are able to answer questions about the impact of these shocks on the delivery of public services to understand why quality of care differs across the country.
CHEPI is also a key collaborator in the Department of Health and Social Care-funded Policy Innovation Research Unit (PIRU), which aims to improve evidence-based policy making and the implementation of healthcare innovations across the NHS.
The output of this work informs the development of policies to increase the adoption of medical innovations, increasing the quality of the labour market and improving the design of healthcare systems.

New fiscal policies for health The use of fiscal policies, primarily health taxes, to create incentives for healthy consumption is one of the core themes in CHEPI’s work. An increasing number of governments throughout the globe have taken up the idea that consumption taxes can be used to pursue goals of societal value, such as health and environmental sustainability. While the health rationale for taxes on tobacco products and alcohol beverages has gained further strength, health taxes have progressively expanded to food and non-alcoholic beverages contributing to imbalanced diets and excessive intakes of nutrients such as sugar, fat and salt. Researchers at CHEPI have worked in close collaboration with Public Health England and with the Government of Portugal to evaluate the
impacts of some of the most interesting examples of taxes on beverages and foods containing added sugar, and subsidies on fruit and vegetables, in UK Overseas Territories and on sugar-sweetened beverages in Portugal. This research has relied on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, including analyses of retail and consumer panel data to estimate changes in prices and consumption following the introduction of the relevant taxes.

CHEPI in 2019
Centre for Health Economics & Policy Innovation
Our programmes MSc International Health Management For the last 15 years, our MSc in International Health Management course has provided students with the essential skills needed to launch their career in the global healthcare sector. Led by Dr Benita Cox, the 2019-20 cohort of 70 students were predominantly female (77%) and joined us from outside the EU (73%).
Executive Education Delivering Executive Education has been challenging in this climate of remote work, but Prof. James Barlow led and contributed to several programmes, including the "Advanced Management Programme on Health Innovation" in partnership with Copenhagen Business School and IESE Business School, and the Imperial College Academic Health Science Centre Foresight Leadership Programme.
