'Creating Healthier Urban Areas through Effective Policy Making' EURO - URHIS 2 Policy Makers Workshop in Brussels
19 September 2011 - 19 September 2011
Austria
The workshop is funded and organised by the EURO-URHIS 2 project and allows policy makers the opportunity to learn about the application of urban health indicator information in relation to effective policy making.
During this workshop, instruction will be given on health impact assessment (HIA) and the use of aggregate measures of health (such as DALYs and Healthy Life Years) as tools that European policy makers of all levels can use to inform policy decision making. Policy makers will have the opportunity to discuss the optimum use of such information with experts and colleagues from across Europe identifying barriers and enablers to using health data such as that provided by the EURO-URHIS 2 project.
The workshop is relevant to anyone who is involved in policy decision making, with an interest in health. The overall objectives of the workshop are:
1. To promote and market EURO-URHIS2 to urban policy makers.
2. To provide instruction in urban health impact assessment and discuss utility in relation to policy decision making.
3. To provide instruction in the use of aggregate level health information and discuss utility in relation to policy decision making
4. To explore barriers/ enablers to urban health impact assessment in policy decision making
5. To explore barriers/ enablers to use of aggregate level health information in policy decision making
We hope that this event will be of interest to you and policy makers from your country. We look forward to welcoming you to the Committee of the Regions in Brussels on the 19 September for what promises to be an interesting and influential event.
