Understanding differences in prevention outcomes
It is well known that differences in health and wellbeing within and between populations are influenced by a range of biological and social factors.
However, less attention has been given to identifying how differences in these factors may influence the experiences or outcomes of prevention work. Prevention interventions and policies may also inadvertently generate health and social inequalities by disproportionately benefiting some populations, to the disadvantage of others.
The development of frameworks such as PROGRESS Plus (Place of residence, Ethnicity, Occupation, Gender, Religion, Education, Socio-economic status, Social capital, Age, Disability and Sexual Orientation) has helped to provide a focus for research, but how do these factors influence intervention outcomes, and how do we design prevention policies and programmes which take them into account?
The 2013 EUSPR Conference focused on the important role of modifiers of prevention outcome, and examined the best ways in which diversity can be incorporated into research and practice. Keynote speakers presented the latest findings from research investigating modifying factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, family and socioeconomic status.
We are also extremely pleased that pre-conference workshops were held in collaboration with the Science for Prevention Academic Network (SPAN) project, which aims to support the development of prevention science education across the EU.
As part of Day 2 of the conference there was a special guided poster session with prizes for the best Early Career Posters including cash prizes and one year’s free Society membership. The poster prizes were supported by SPAN.
Venue: Le Centquatre, 5 Rue Curial, 75019 Paris, France. MAP
