| Popis: | Skopje is one of the urban areas chosen for EURO-URHIS 2 (European Urban Health Indicator System Part 2), a project that aims to identify health problems in urban areas. The EURO-URHIS 2 project describes health and health determinants specific to urban areas in Europe, covering cities in North, East, South, and West Europe. This project may add to information that is already locally available, in that it is the first study to enable reliable comparisons of health status between different cities in Europe. Policy makers can use the information to prioritise topics for urban health policy and for interventions in an evidence-based way.EURO-URHIS 2 gathered information by collecting data from routinely available registration data, and by conducting youth and adult surveys at the end of 2010. In total, data from 26 urban areas in Europe were available for between-city comparisons and benchmarking. The youth survey was a school-based survey of 14-16 year olds. In Skopje, 393 students completed a valid questionnaire. Data from the adult survey and routinely available data from Skopje were not comparable to data collected in the other urban areas in EURO-URHIS 2. These results are therefore not included in the health profile. |
