Webinar Rural Health Promotion

In recent years, it has become increasingly evident that rural Europe faces unique public health challenges compared to urban areas. Rural health promotion refers to a branch of public health that focuses on the unique health needs and challenges, but also positive impacts faced by populations living in rural areas. It involves the development, implementation, and evaluation of health programs and policies tailored to address the specific characteristics of rural communities, including geographic, social, economic, and cultural factors.

Join us for a conversation on health promotion policy, programme and research of rural settings in Europe. This webinar is hosted by Professor Geir Arild Espnes, Director of NTNU Centre for Health Promotion Research and leader of the EUPHA Health Promotion Section working group on rural health promotion. He, with other colleagues, will provide an overview of the field and present the working group. The webinar will be very interactive and participants interested in joining this task force are invited to make themselves known.
