The Centre for Occupational and Health Psychology (COHP, Template:Langx) is a Cardiff University research centre founded in 1999 to conduct research into the effects of occupational factors on health and performance efficiency. In addition, the risk factors relating to ill-health are investigated and the effects of health-related behaviour and health status on cognitive performance, mood and physiological functioning examined.

The Unit is directed by Professor Andy Smith[1][2] and research is conducted by post-doctoral fellows, research associates and post-graduate students.
