2 days of #EPH2025 so far, including our pre-conference workshop on #healthliteracy and a roundtable on #mentalhealth. To me, the essence seems to be: - there are no simple or easy solutions - individual interventions won‘t be the answer - we need political support, cross-sectoral collaboration

Just had the loveliest encounter. The person who picked me up from the airport showed me around and told me about the time he grew up around Vantaa. Where he used to race his friends on his motorcycle, which building used to be a sugar factory, printing company and whatnot. First impression: 👍

Dear #healthliteracy & #healthcommunication people: are you aware of (visual) information materials for schools and Kindergarten that are used to promote #diseaseprevention? Not regarding washing hands but more about keeping children at home when they are unwell. Thanks!

. @orkanokan.bsky.social @ applying the standards of a health literate school, schools can become settings which foster #healthliteracy among all actors involved #EPH2024

. @orkanokan.bsky.social: when applying existing educational concepts to the topic of health, #healthliteracy can be pragmatically implemented in schools. #EPH2024 @whocc-hl.bsky.social

Nancy Gullett @ #EPH2024: in order for children to become health literate, first, schools need to become health literate themselves. #healthliteracy #healthliterateorganizations

Torsten Bollweg @tbollweg.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
. @profsoniaksaxena.bsky.social @ #EPH2024: we need to be looking for solutions outside of the medical setting. E.g., implementing regular physical activity over the day, starting in school, will have many benefits #healthliteracy

Torsten Bollweg @tbollweg.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
@orkanokan.bsky.social: looking into the future 5-10 years, what are the things that need to happen regarding #healthliteracy? Stephan van den Broucke: we’ve got the measurements, we’ve got the data. Now we need to Implement and act upon what we already know. #EPH2024 @eupha.bsky.social

Stephan van den Broucke: #healthliteracy is not just a goal in itself, and doesn’t come out of itself. It’s influenced by sociodemographic factors and structural inequalities, and is related to health outcomes. #EPH2024 @eupha.bsky.social

Torsten Bollweg @tbollweg.bsky.social · 12/11/2024
Stephan van den Broucke: #healthliteracy has been around at the European Public Health Conference for a while now. 1000s of entries in PubMed each year. Still an expanding concept. Different competencies are needed to deal with health information than 40-50 years ago. @eupha.bsky.social #EPH2024
