News from the center
Vi gratulerer senterets Monica Lillefjell som sist fredag fikk Folkehelsepris. Dette har hun virkelig fortjent etter mange år med forskning på implementering av helsefremming og Trøndelagsmodellen for folkehelsearbeid.
Growing up in rural areas is a research project that started in the rural communities of Trøndelag as early as 1996, with the collection of health data on adolescents living there. Now, data on youth in lower secondary and upper secondary schools has been collected in six data collections. In 2025, the 7th data collection will be carried out at the NTNU Center for Health Promotion Research. Currently, efforts are underway to prepare the municipalities and schools for the new data collection. The data collected consists of cross-sectional surveys with anonymous data. The survey provides anonymous data, so individuals cannot be tracked, but there is great interest in tracking trends in the development of health and health issues.
