,Lecture Introduction

Policy = a deliberate course of (in-)action selected from available alternatives to achieve a
certain outcome.

Public health and policy
 Definition Oxford textbook: “Public health is the science and art of preventing disease,
prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts of society”
 Goal: biologic, physical, mental well-being of all members of society
 Public Health  (clinical) health care

Public health functions
 PH identifies, measures, and monitors community health needs through surveillance of
disease and risk factor trends (information)
 PH formulates, promotes and enforces sound health policies, e.g.
o Policies requiring reporting of highly transmissible diseases and health threats to the
community
o Control of hazards
o Promote healthy behaviour etc.
Also:
 PH should influence politics
 Effective planning, management and administration is necessary

10 indicators of Public Health policy performance
1) Tobacco
2) Alcohol
3) Food and nutrition
4) Fertility, pregnancy and childbirth
5) Child health
6) Infectious diseases
7) Hypertension detection and treatment
8) Cancer screening
9) Road safety
10) Air pollution
 NL ranks 5th of EU.

Road safety: example
 Obligation to wear safety belts in cars implemented in many countries in the past decades
(e.g. NL: in front since 1976, in back since 1992)
 25-48% reduction in lethal car accidents
 Influence of PH measure on mortality.

The Netherlands vs. Sweden
 In the Netherlands
o 55% more lung cancer among men, 30% more breast cancer (due to less tobacco
control)
o 33% more babies die
o 25% more traffic accidents

Background variables Sweden vs NL (macro context)
 Self-expression values
 Democracy
 Left-party government

,  Less ethnic fractionalization (more cohesion & solidarity)
 High national income
 More government effectiveness
 Contribute to a better PH outcome and more favorable indicators than NL.

Health in All Policies is an approach to public policies across sectors which:
 Systematically takes into account the health implications of decisions
 Seeks synergies

o Alcohol and youth (NIX18)
o Mental health

 Organizations (Occupational Health): e.g.
o Prevention, sustainable employability
o Sickness absence and return to work policies in organizations

diseases the way it controls infectious epidemics”

In local settings: Maastricht
 Healthy neighborhoods
 Regarding environment policy on:
o Attractive to walk, cycle etc.
o Health care, sports facilities, places to socialize
