Division 2.1.3 Health Determinants — Articles 2(1)(c) and 3(2)(b)

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

Activities under this section are designed to:

  • underpin EU policies and activities regarding health determinants,

  • support actions to provide and exchange good practice,

  • promote cross-cutting and integrative approaches across several health determinants and maximise countries’ efforts.

In 2007, priority will be given to projects linked to and in support of EU policies and strategies on health determinants, notably on mental health, nutrition and physical activity, tobacco, alcohol, drugs and environment and health. A specific focus will be on projects addressing good practice in conveying health-related life skills, in particular for children and young people, covering both risk and protective factors with an impact on lifestyles and behaviours. Projects should also show awareness of wider socio-economic considerations and contribute to reduce health inequalities.

The priorities identified for 2007 are as follows:

  1. 2.1.3.1Supporting key Community strategies on addictive substances (Annex — point 3.1)
  2. 2.1.3.2Integrative approaches on lifestyles (Articles 2(1)(c) and 3(2)(b); Annex — point 3.1)
  3. 2.1.3.3Public health actions to address wider determinants of health (Annex — points 3.2 and 3.3)
  4. 2.1.3.4Disease and injuries prevention (Articles 2(1)(c) and 3(2)(b))
  5. 2.1.3.5Capacity building
