Thông tin chi tiết
Tóm tắt : | The WHO’s Healthy Cities Project was set up in 1986 to translate the health for all principles into practice at local level in urban settings. By the end of 1995, all participating cities should have committed themselves to producing City Health Profiles and City Health Plans within four years of joining the project. City Health Profiles are comprehensive reports which provide a description of the health of the city’s population. They use health indicators to define the population’s health in individual cities and present information on the lifestyles, environmental and social factors in the city that affect health. Surveys can be a valuable source of information for Health Profiles. They give local information and may record a range of concerns, including health status, health-related attitudes or experience of health care. But surveys are not the only means of collecting such data. This publication is a resource guide of standard and reliable tools for measuring factors affecting health and can be used to support local ideas and action. The main areas covered include health status and quality of life, health behaviours, health and environment, and health and socioeconomic circumstances. These are the areas that are often underreported in conventional health reporting and yet essential for any serious effort to understand and address health and its determinants in the urban context. v, 63 p. |
