Key stakeholders discussed launch of upcoming HBSC 2017/2018 national report as we intensively work on it right now

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 with the director of Research institute for child psychology and psychopathology and discussed potential for future collaboration.
