ISMH is globally acknowledged as a leader in critical marketing research – the analysis of commercial marketing practices, regulation and societal impacts. ISMH researchers are involved in all aspects of public health policy, from describing and critically examining the impact of marketing (including pricing, availability, promotion and products), understanding and influencing behaviour, shaping regulatory responses, to evaluating policy implementation and impact. Our research is conducted in the UK and multiple countries across the globe. ISMH has a vibrant and supportive team of approximately 30+ researchers.
