Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Public health is of growing importance to the European Union and its citizens. STEPS is designed to increase civil society organisation participation in the development of public health research in each of the twelve new member states, and in Europe as a whole. The project has three partners. Coordination and project management are led by UCL, and the coordinator will also promote engagement of national ministries of health. The European Public Health Association (EUPHA) will engage its member national public health associations, support the Steering Group and maintain the web knowledge base. The Latvian Public Health Network (LPHN) will engage the health NGOs in each country and strengthen Europe-wide alliances. Together, EUPHA and LPHN will hold national workshops between these national partners to address the development of public health research in each country, taking a particular theme relevant to their own perspectives. Each will provide a report and generate discussion of the research issues among citizens through their organisations and national media. Reports from the twelve national workshops will be presented at the annual European conference of EUPHA in Poland, and learning drawn for comparisons which can be shared across the new member states and also with European level alliances. There will be international dissemination through the Council for Health Research and Development and Global Forum for Health Research. STEPS will increase citizen engagement in public health research in the new member states, and more broadly promote public health research within the developing European Research Area.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Public health has become an area of increasing importance to the EU and its citizens. A European study is investigating ways of strengthening the links between civil society, research and health authorities.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Research into public health is carried out by national bodies that often report to the Ministry of Health. Work is also undertaken in the medical and social science faculties of universities. The end-users of public health research include policy-makers and non-profit service providers. Public heatlh research includes activities that promote health and well-being and control disease, but many findings remain separate from laboratory and clinical medicine.
The 'Strengthening engagement in public health research' (STEPS) project has been established to increase the participation of civil society organisations. The initiative has hosted workshops in newer EU Member States in order to facilitate collective learning at the European level and exchange experience with international partners.
Lead organisations have been identified and chosen as a reflection of national public health associations and civil society organisations. Contact has also been established with national officers heading research policy and representatives from health ministries. Furthermore, the structure and performance of public-health research has been assessed. Civil society organisations have also been reviewed and those capable of leading workshops identified.
A number of associated activities have been conducted under the auspices of STEPS workshops. These included carrying out surveys of national civil society organisations' view of research, together with a survey of European organisations gained through the European Health Policy Forum. A website has been developed along with a database that holds national research profiles.
In addition a template for national structures has been developed and reports from the workshops have been used to update information about EU countries. Lastly, the STEPS project has studied the possibility of collecting relevant information from websites and coordinating with initiatives of the European Commission.
Results from the STEPS project will help civil society organisations engage with public health research resulting in improved quality of life for Europe's citizens.
