Conditions during childhood and adolescence - Objective Domain 3

Favourable conditions during childhood and adolescence are crucial for the health of an individual during the whole life-span.

The main targets for public health interventions are financial transfers to families, support of good parenthood, high quality pre-schools for all children, high quality schools and access to leisure activities that support healthy development.

Evidence based measures (interventions that have been checked with high-quality research and have proven to give results) are used to an increasing extent. Such interventions are presented in Child and adolescent health - An encyclopaedia that is available at this website.
