objectives
Objectives of the project are linked to distinct phases and are as follows:
- summarising literature findings with respect to health determinants and existing studies on health promotion for older people in the partner countries;
- compiling relevant terms in a glossary in order to create a common understanding of what health and other related issues mean in the context of older people and health promotion;
- creating a catalogue of criteria for the collection, selection and evaluation of health promotion programmes for older people;
- undertaking a detailed evaluation of selected health promotion programmes using a common evaluation framework;
- developing evidence-based guidelines and recommendations for health promotion for older people;
- supporting the transfer of knowledge of project outcomes on a national and European level through appropriate dissemination strategies.
