Título da revista, periódico, livro ou evento: | International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health | Volume: | 17 | Número: | 5 | Resumo: | Social, economic, and environmental differences across the European Union significantly affect opportunities to move forward in achieving greater equity in health. Cohesion Policy (CP) funds can contribute positively through investments in the main determinants of health. The aim of this study is to analyze to what extent the planned investments for 2014-2020 are addressing the regional health gaps, in light of the population health index (PHI), a multidimensional measure developed by the EURO-HEALTHY project. The operational programs of all regions were analyzed, namely, the CP planned investments by field of intervention. Analysis of variance was performed to examine whether the regional scores in the PHI dimensions were statistically different across regions with different levels of development (measured by gross domestic product (GDP)). Results show that 98% of regions with worse performances on the PHI are less developed regions. Overall, all regions present planned investments in intervention fields linked to dimensions appraised within the PHI (e.g., employment, income, education, pollution). Yet, more needs to be done to focus regional investments in health determinants where regions still lag behind. The PHI has the potential to inform future CP restructuring, providing evidence to extend the current eligibility criteria to other dimensions beyond the GDP. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/106172 | ISSN: | 1660-4601 | DOI: | 10.3390/ijerph17051567 | Direitos: | openAccess |
