EUphacts and ECHI indicators in preparation

New EUphacts

The following new EUphacts are being prepared in collaboration between the authors from the EUPHIX expert network and editors from the RIVM-based EUPHIX team:

  • National smoking policies
  • Coronary heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Breast cancer
  • Depression
  • Suicide attempt
  • Social support
  • Mental health policies

 

The last four EUphacts from the list will be combined into the new EUphocus 'Mental Health'.

According to the comments from our Target Group Panel, including our project partners, we have chosen to intensify the production of EUphacts and ECHI Indicators for now. This implies that new EUphoci will be developed at a later stage

New ECHI indicators

Four new ECHI indicators have been added to the new release:

  • Mothers' age distribution
  • Drug-related deaths
  • Cancer survival
  • GP utilisation.
