EURO-URHIS 2 set out to develop standardized instruments and methodologies for collecting comparable health data from adolescents living in heterogeneous urban environments across Europe.
The project produced validated survey tools and protocols for assessing key indicators of adolescent health and the social, environmental and behavioural factors that shape it — and demonstrated how this evidence can be put to work by public-health practitioners and policy makers.
By harmonising data collection across very different cities, EURO-URHIS 2 made it possible to benchmark urban health, identify inequalities and translate findings into concrete public-health action at the local level.
