CENTER FOR CLINICAL RESEARCH AND PREVENTION (CCRP)

The Center for Clinical Research and Prevention (CCRP) at Copenhagen University Hospital-Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg is a globally recognized research center operating under the administrative system of the Capital Region (Region Hovedstaden) in Denmark.

Our focus areas include population-based epidemiology, clinical epidemiology, health promotion and prevention research, health services research, and biostatistical expertise. The CCRP is dedicated to enhancing and advocating for health across mental, physical, and social dimensions.

In epidemiology, we leverage unique population-based cohorts collected over many decades, supplemented by continuous data generation. Coupled with extensive national health and socioeconomic registers, these resources enable us to conduct a wide array of studies on health and disease consequences, etiology, and trends.
