Life-course and intersectoral approaches to public health

Wednesday, 28.09.2016 | 14:45 - 17:15 | Room

Organised by World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe

A modern response to public health needs across the life-course requires a focus on providing a healthy start early in life, a focus on intervening at critical points and transitions, and a focus on the shared life experiences of cohorts. There are compelling arguments for early intervention in many areas of public health, from promoting early childhood development to more controversial issues such as the role and regulation of endocrine disrupters. Critical points present themselves at defined social transitions in life, from adolescence to the transition between work and unemployment, whether experienced in isolation or in cohorts.
