CANCER AND OTHER
NON-COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES PREVENTION

JOINT ACTION ON HEALTH DETERMINANTS


ABOUT JA PREVENTNCD



BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES




Cancer and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) represent a significant
portion of the disease burden in Europe, much of which is preventable. The Joint
Action Prevent Non-Communicable Diseases (JA PreventNCD) project is designed to
address this challenge by supporting strategies and policies that aim to reduce
the burden of cancer and NCDs, focusing on both personal and societal risk
factors.

MAJOR GOAL

The project's major goal is to minimize fragmentation and duplication of efforts
and to engage national authorities at various levels to enhance the impact of
actions taken. A significant aspect is the rigorous evaluation of these actions
to assist authorities in prioritizing the most effective prevention strategies.
This will contribute to achieving global targets in reducing the NCD burden .

ADDRESSING SOCIAL INEQUALITES AND RISK FACTORS

A key objective is to tackle social inequalities by addressing the root causes
of NCD risk factors and adopting a life-course approach. The project aims to
build a comprehensive European infrastructure for monitoring factors related to
cancer and other NCDs. This includes building on existing knowledge and
exploring new methods for monitoring risk factors, disease burden, and the
impact of policies and interventions .

ALIGNMENT WITH EUROPEAN HEALTH INITIATIVES

The project aligns with the objectives of Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and the
'Healthier Together – EU NCD Initiative'. Activities are organized through
mandatory work packages, focusing on coordination, dissemination, evaluation,
policy integration, and technical areas like social inequality and health
policies. These activities are supported by research evidence on the causes of
cancer and other NCDs and effective intervention strategies . Moreover, four
Action Grants are connected to this JA: ELISAH, FILTERED, PEACHD and
Showup4Health.

HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HEALTH AND EQUITY

The overall and specific objectives of JA PreventNCD are influenced by the
priority actions in Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan and the EU Non-Communicable
Diseases Initiative – Healthier Together. The project emphasizes that health is
created by policies across sectors, and thus, it is crucial to consider the
health and health equity implications of these policies. Addressing
socioeconomic disparities and social determinants that influence exposure to
major risk factors for cancer and NCDs is vital for this initiative .

AIMS AND WORK PACKAGES

The aim of JA PreventNCD is to support Member States in implementing effective
cancer and NCD prevention strategies. This involves a coordinated approach
across six technical work packages, addressing health determinants common to
cancer and NCDs, and assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of various
prevention methods across Europe .
