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

It was my absolute pleasure to chair this #EPH2025 pre-conference workshop on school #healthliteracy today together with Gabriella Sutton (@eurohealthnet.bsky.social). Great presentations and in-depth discussions with @carocostongs.bsky.social, Sophie Jullien, @rafaelarosario.bsky.social,…

Decisions, decisions… #EPH2025

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: 👍

#EPH2025 starting in less than a week! I‘m a bit stressed regarding the preparations, but we‘ve got quite a number of events lined up this year. The first one is our HLIT preconference on school #healthliteracy with a number of international experts involved. Tuesday 11th, 1:30pm to 5pm ✌️

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!

Haven‘t been active on this account in a while. What’s new on #healthliteracy / #publichealth Bluesky?

"Social media platforms—the empire of these 'broligarchs'—are now a primary source of health information. Much of that information is either misinformation or disinformation and is therefore harmful to health and wellbeing" @kamranabbasi.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/388/...

#EPH2024 first-timers: you can do it! 💪 @thestrugglings4.bsky.social

. @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

. @kdadaczynski.bsky.social: #digitalhealthliteracy can be viewed as an individual attribute, but it’s important to also consider the organizational side. #EPH2024

. @kdadaczynski.bsky.social @ #EPH2024: digital #healthliteracy can be considered a digital determinant of health, as well as a strategy of #healthpromotion

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

. @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

@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 @ #EPH2024: health inequalities don’t seem to become smaller. #healthliteracy could be an intermediate solution

Stephan van den Broucke @ #EPH2024: We see a lot of flowers that bloom around #healthliteracy. We see organizations, conferences, research, policies… @orkanokan.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

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

Let‘s gooo! My first @eupha.bsky.social conference in years! @orkanokan.bsky.social #EPH2024

@orkanokan.bsky.social and Kristine Sørensen kicking off the first in-person #IHLASUMMIT2024 on #healthliteracy

Marlene Meyer (@whocc-hl.bsky.social) on school principals' Covid-related #healthliteracy during the pandemic: higher Covid-related HL, better wellbeing #IHLASUMMIT2024

Cara Krudewig (@whocc-hl.bsky.social): schools can become health literate organizations. Health-literate schools aim to promote #healthliteracy of all people involved (school staff, students, parents) #IHLASUMMIT2024

Sophie Rauschmayr (@whocc-hl.bsky.social) @ the #IHLASUMMIT2024: not only schools, but also institutions in the pre-school sector can become health-literate organizations

Denise Renninger (@whocc-hl.bsky.social) @ #IHLASUMMIT2024: boundaries for #planetaryhealth have been crossed. We're creating environments that lead to excess illness and mortality @orkanokan.bsky.social
