The aim of this action is to improve access to and understanding of risk factors and health determinants to improve health outcomes for cancer.
Applicants shall target their proposal to one or both of the action strands (a, b) described below and indicate that clearly in the proposal.
(a) to support the usability of the recommendations of the European Code against Cancer through the ‘EU Mobile App for Cancer Prevention’ by means of activities covering training, piloting and promotion amongst the general population. Support will include activities to provide relevant input for the design and development of the ‘EU Mobile App for Cancer Prevention’.
(b) to support ‘Health Literacy for Cancer Prevention and Care’ by means of activities that develop and share best practices to strengthen health literacy in cancer prevention and care programmes, with a focus on disadvantaged groups.
