Public health research in Denmark in the years 1995--2005.
BACKGROUND
The objective of this study was to find out the number of publications (in Danish) and research projects (including grey literature) either carried out or ongoing within the field of public health in Denmark, using the same criteria as the SPHERE project, but looking at Danish research databases.


METHODS
The Danish research database served as the main resource for the study supported by national research reports.


RESULTS
There is an increasing trend in the number of public health research projects and publications. Compared with public health research projects published in English there are differences in some categories. Overall, public health research in Denmark seems to contribute around 4.8%-6.5% of the total amount of health research.


CONCLUSIONS
Public health research has a relatively low share of overall health research in Denmark.
