«Содействие процветанию подростков» (СПП) -
совместная инициатива ВОЗ/ЮНИСЕФ, направленная
на укрепление стратегий и мероприятий по
укреплению психического здо...овья подростков,
предупреждению нарушений психического здоровья, а
также профилактике самоповреждения и других форм
рискованного поведения среди подростков. В основе
инициативы лежит концепция, в рамках которой все
подростки, их опекуны, гражданское общество и
местные сообщества объединят усилия с государством
для совместного принятия мер по охране и
укреплению психического здоровья подростков.
Это предполагает необходимость систематического
осуществления и мониторинга основанных на
принципах науки и прав человека стратегий по
укреплению психического здоровья и принятия
мер по профилактике и лечению среди подростков
нарушений психического здоровья и расстройств,
связанных с употреблением психоактивных веществ,
в интересах повышения уровня их благополучия
в долгосрочной перспективе. Эти действия будут

Schistosomiasis is widely recognized as a disease that is socially determined. An
understanding of the social and behavioural factors linked to disease transmission and
control should play a vital role in designing policies and strategies for schistosomiasis
prevention and control. To this must b...e added the awareness that schistosomiasis is
also a disease of poverty. It still survives in poverty-stricken, remote areas where there
is little or no safe water or sanitation, and health care is scarce or non-existent. For
a variety of complex reasons, many of which are addressed in this book, the disease
is particularly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, and persists in certain areas of rural
China. This concern for human behaviour in an environment of poverty echoes the
concerns of the new research priority for “diseases of poverty” identified by the
Special Programme for Research & Training in Tropical Diseases.

An estimated 59 000 people die from rabies each year. That’s one person every nine minutes of every day, 40% of whom are children living in Asia and Africa. As dog bites cause almost all human cases, we can prevent rabies deaths by increasing awareness, vaccinating dogs to prevent the disease at i...ts source and administering life-saving treatment after people have been bitten. We have the vaccines, medicines, tools and technologies to prevent people from dying from dog-mediated rabies. For a relatively low cost it is possible to break the disease cycle and save lives

Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. To reach a state of complete physical mental and social wellbeing, an individual or group must be able to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the e...nvironment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource fo everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities. Therefore, health promotion is not just the responsibility of the health sector, but goes beyond healthy lifestyles to wellbeing.

Excessive consumption of salt (more than 5 g per day) raises blood pressure, a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and stroke, and is the leading cause of death in the WHO European Region. Many countries in the Region have initiated national salt reduction strategies,... including public awareness campaigns, reformulation, and front-of-pack nutrition labelling. However, despite ongoing efforts, surveillance data indicate that salt intake still far exceeds the limits recommended by WHO to protect health.
