Part I: Definitions • The individual and population health: definitions and concepts. • Determinants of population health: • micro determinants: o living conditions (income, education, work, living conditions, housing, etc.), or lifestyles (nutrition, physical activity, etc.), o subjective dimensions (attitudes, personality traits, etc.) • macro determinants: o physical environment (sources of noise, radioactive, electromagnetic pollution, etc.), services (presence and access to healthcare, school, transport, social and public security, etc.) o social context (social capital, social cohesion, family and social networks) o economic context (labour market, work policies, employment, income distribution, welfare level, etc.) o political context (social, work, housing policies, etc.) and legislative (laws that promote health) Part II: Measurements and Analysis • Construction of health data • Individual level (surveys) • Measurement of subjective health (scaling models) • The measurement of multidimensional health • Measurement of functionality • Health and quality of life • Analysis of a broad application on the health of the elderly Part III: Seminar insights Two in-depth seminars are planned. A) Environmental and health data for the promotion of environmental justice (Dr. Roberto Pasetto – Istituto Superiore di Sanità) Introduction and practical examples on approaches and methods relating to the collection and organization of environmental and health data, the production of indicators, their interpretation, and the formulation of recommendations for the protection of health and the promotion of environmental justice in communities residing in areas with strong environmental pressure. B) Social epidemiology (to be confirmed) - Elements of social epidemiology - Economic and social inequalities, social differences and longitudinal evolutions of health (micro and macro) - Indicators for epidemiological surveillance: definition and applications Part IV: Individual work
