DETERMINE will concentrate on the underlying socio-economic determinants for health. It will build on and take forward existing work in the area of the social determinants of health and on health inequalities in an EU context.
To undertake this work it will establish a consortium of high-level, multi-stakeholder bodies and take forward the work of the WHO Commission on social determinants of health applying it to the EU context.
The European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) is a collaborating partner in this new project.
The DETERMINE project has a framework and will be implemented in the context of seven work packages:
1.Coordination
2.Dissemination
3.Evaluation
4.DETERMINE Consortium
5.Evidence,transferability and cost-effectiveness
6.Innovative approaches with 3 pilots
7.Awareness and capacity building
In July 2007 the first management meeting of the executive group of work-package leaders took place. The minutes are available on request at the Eurohealthnet office.
The first (out of 3) consortium meeting will take place on Thursday 30 October 2007 and Wednesday 31 October 2007 in Lisbon in the context of the Portuguese Presidency. For more information contact Eurohealthnet.
