Division 2.1.3.2 Integrative approaches on lifestyles (Articles 2(1)(c) and 3(2)(b); Annex — point 3.1)

Regarding nutrition and physical activity in preparation and support of the forthcoming ‘White Paper on nutrition and physical activity’ and the ‘Report on Contributions to the Green Paper’ published on 11 September 2006, projects proposals should focus on:

• good practices in education programmes on nutrition and physical activity, including schools;

• pilot support for collaborative multi-stakeholder initiatives on healthy lifestyle in communities focusing on specific vulnerable groups, in particular children;

• effectiveness of actions to change consumer behaviour with respect to food choice and physical activity;

• evaluation (health impact assessments/cost-benefit analyses) of policies and measures;

• evidence or tools to support policy-making in the area of marketing foods for children;

• enhancement of physical activity by creating healthy environments and involving other sectors (e.g. urban planning, transport, architecture).

HIV/AIDS and sexual and reproductive health activities, in line with the Commission communication on combating HIV/AIDS^f1, the projects proposals should focus on issues around:

• ongoing HIV transmission among men having sex with men (MSM) in Europe by building up networks, in close collaboration with the ECDC and other relevant European bodies, in support of a communication strategy for prevention using targeted, innovative mechanisms;

• ways for the exchange and dissemination of both national and international experiences in raising awareness on HIV/AIDS and sexual health;

• identifying good practice and guidance on voluntary counselling and testing of HIV, taking into account the diversity of specific vulnerable groups (such as youth, migrant populations, injecting drug users);

• identifying and disseminating good practice related to harm reduction activities (prevention, treatment, care and support) focussing on vulnerable groups in particular on IDUs;

• innovative strategies to promote safer sex among adolescents and high risk populations, including access to targeted services, and improved awareness of sexually transmitted infections and their prevention.

Mental health activities based on the orientations set out in the EU mental health strategy^f2; projects proposals should focus on:

• developing a mechanism for identifying and reviewing good practice, which integrates knowledge from existing projects, and includes measures fostering the visible recognition of leadership practice in mental health promotion, mental disorder prevention, combating stigma, promoting inclusion of people with mental health problems and their human rights;

• supporting leadership and networking for the broad integration of mental health promotion and mental disorder prevention at the workplace, enhancing positive mental health and work life balance;

• mapping the evidence-base for the cost-effectiveness of investment into promoting mental health and prevent mental disorders.
