Database for SPAN Project

The Science for Prevention Academic Network (SPAN) has been awarded a grant to support the establishment of a network of prevention scientists and educators across Europe.  The Health Promotion Research Centre at NUI Galway is a partner in this project.  At this early stage of the project, they are seeking to build a database of projects involved in both preventive and health promoting interventions.  For the purpose of this exercise, health is defined as either ill health (e.g. cardiovascular disease, cancer, communicable diseases, psychological distress or psychiatric diseases, metabolic disease, injuries etc.) or as its intermediary behavioural or psycho-social factors/determinants (e.g. smoking, alcohol misuse, unsafe sex, lack of physical activity etc.).  They are keen to hear from initiatives which are involved in either preventive or health promoting interventions, with a view to including them in this database.  Contact Colette Dempsey (Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
