Public health objectives

Eleven objectives have been defined for all work in the field of public health:

1. Participation and influence in society
2. Economic and social prerequisites
3. Conditions during childhood and adolescence
4. Health in working life
5. Environments and products
6. Health-promoting health services
7. Protection against communicable diseases
8. Sexuality and reproductive health
9. Physical activity
10. Eating habits and food
11. Tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs, doping and gambling

Follow-up and evaluation

To enable follow-up and evaluation of public health work, comprehensive reports on public health are needed. This will enable analysis and assessment of the impact of initiatives within the eleven objectives. These findings will primarily be published in the public health report of the National Board of Health and Welfare and the public health policy report to be produced by the FHI.
