Today we participated in Bratislava on analytical workshop organized by director of the Research institute for child psychology and psychopathology with aim to analyze potential positive and negative aspects of planned transformation of counseling centers.
Within the workshop we presented preliminary results based on Care4Youth study and provided information about current state-of-art within system of care with the potential for improvement.
We traveled nearly 10,000 km, visited more than 100 schools from all over Slovakia and approached nearly 10,000 schoolchildren. Nearly 1,000 of them were measured for body composition and physical fitness. These data are processed and currently we prepare accompanying texts for the National Report from HBSC 2017/2018 survey, which we would like to present to the professional and lay public in co-operation with the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic, the Public Health Office of the Slovak Republic and under the auspices of the World Health Organization office in Bratislava in May 2019. First meeting with partners held on in Bratislava this week.
What an inspiring meeting! Our team met today in Bratislava with the director of Research institute for child psychology and psychopathology and discussed potential for future collaboration.
We talked about future collaboration within three of our ongoing project, namely Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study, Care4Youth study and Roma health study. More could be expected soon!
