EU for Health and Wealth - Impact Assessments in Improving Population Health and Contributing to the objectives of the Lisbon Strategy
Population health is directly and implicitly included in the social objectives of the EU. Equal distribution of health and wellbeing, among population groups constitute a central pillar for the development of the EU. As a healthy population is also a productive population, health is also a cornerstone of the Lisbon Strategy, aiming at increasing the competitiveness of Europe. These perspectives and objectives underline the fact that health is to a great extent determined by broad social, environmental, economic and cultural determinants that are out of reach of health care services and beyond the mandate of health sector
European Alliance Against Depression
The EAAD is a multilevel, community-based awareness programme to improve the care of depressed patients and prevent suicidality in Europe. Action programmes fostering partnerships and bringing together regional and national authorities to promote the care of depressed patients are urgently needed. In 2001 the “Nuremberg Alliance Against Depression” was initiated as a community-based model project within the large-scaled “German Research Network on Depression and Suicidality” (Kompetenznetz “Depression, Suizidalität”). The “Nuremberg Alliance Against Depression” was a 4-level action programme, conducted in the city of Nuremberg (500,000 inhabitants) in 2001/2002, addressing 4 parallel intervention levels (Hegerl et al. 2006). Based on the positive results of the Nuremberg project (a significant reduction of suicidal behaviour by more than 20%) 18 international partners representing 16 different European countries established the “European Alliance Against Depression” in 2004. All regional partners initiated respective regional intervention programmes addressing depression and suicidality. Evaluation of the activities takes place on regional and international level. The manual is available in German and English. The European Commission presented the EAAD project as one of the most promising strategies in the area of mental health at the WHO European Ministerial Conference on Mental Health in Helsinki and listed EAAD in its Green Paper (European Commission 2005).

Implementation of Mental Health Promotion and Prevention Policies and Strategies in EU Member States and Applicant Countries
The EMIP Project, an ongoing project which started in 2004, aims to support implementation of policies for mental health promotion and mental disorders prevention in Europe, in addition to sharing experiences on what works in promotion activities and on how to reduce risks and prevent mental ill-health. It also aims to start national multidisciplinary coalitions that would develop this work further in each of the twelve participating countries.
Measuring Health and Disability in Europe: Supporting Policy Development
The MHADIE project (Measuring Health and Disability in Europe), lead by the WHO and involving 16 partner organisations across ten EU countries, aims to demonstrate the application of the ICF model in the collection of health and disability data. It will show that data currently being collected, nationally and internationally, embody conceptual confusions, inconsistencies and ambiguities about disability and the relationship between health conditions, impairments and environmental factors. In addition, the project will produce specific policy recommendations and guidelines designed for use in health disability policy planning and development across the European Union.
Mental Health Information and Determinants for the European Level
MINDFUL is a two-year project, started in 2004. It is funded under the Programme of Community action in the field of public health (2003-2008) and aims to significantly raise the level of mental health information within the EU. It is focused on setting up a comprehensive system for European mental health monitoring purposes and promotes the use of the resulting information and knowledge within the EU member states. Its work is firmly based on previous projects such as the Key Concepts project (1996-1998) and Establishment of a set of mental health indicators for European Project (1999-2001) .
Monitoring Suicidal Behaviour in Europe
MONSUE is a three-year project, which started in 2005. The project aims to reduce the frequency of suicide, suicide attempts and the repetition rate of suicide attempts in various European countries, by assessing the magnitude of the problem (monitoring of suicides and suicide attempts), the identification of groups at risk, risk factors, and specific variables (methods, “hot spots”, time variables etc.) which can be influenced to prevent this behaviour. In addition, the project will develop guidelines for suicide prevention.
