Biography

Charlotte E.L. Evans is an Associate Professor in Nutritional Epidemiology and Public Health Nutrition at the University of Leeds, UK, with more than 20 years of experience in researching dietary behaviour and food environments. She is dedicated to improving the quality of children’s and adolescents’ diets, particularly for those on the poorest diets. Her research focusses on making the healthier choice, the easier choice, with experience spanning a range of food environments including schools, hospitals, fast-food and nutrition in the media. Another key area of her research is the evaluation of programmes and policies to improve diet quality such as increasing fruit and vegetable consumption and decreasing free sugars. She has more than 100 publications including papers, book chapters, a special issue on adolescent diet as well as conference abstracts. She has also presented her work internationally and has regularly featured on television and the radio communicating hers and others work on diet behaviour. In 2016, she was awarded the prestigious Elsie Widdowson Medal for contributions to Public Health Nutrition by the UK Nutrition Society.
