DOHaD and SDGs: Moving towards Early Implementation
The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease & Sustainable Development Goals: Moving Towards Early ImplementationThe Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD) paradigm provides us with a new and exciting way to think about causation of illness while at the same time providing us with both personal and population-level instruments for avoiding harm and promoting health. -
âBrighter Futuresâ through Health Promotion and Health Equity
There is robust evidence that health promotion in the school setting can increase childrenâs knowledge and change their choice of health related behaviors for the better.
