The theme of the coming EUSUHM Congress is “Changing contexts: influencing youth and their surroundings”. As preventive youth health care professionals we work in the broad field of public health. Our focus is not only to care for individual children and youngsters, but also to evaluate the influence of the context on the health and behaviour of young people, and to be able to advise how changes in context can influence the health and behaviour of young people.
The 20th EUSUHM Congress offers excellent opportunities to learn from the latest research and practice, to network with experts and colleagues and to expand your professional horizons in the field of preventive public health care for children and adolescents.
Within the main theme we have specified seven topics:
- Cultural context
- Environmental context
- Context of policy, governance and public opinion
- Context of professional care
- Social and digital context
- Family context
- Individual context
