At this time of year, I always find myself looking back. It has been my first year as the Scientific Director of our great school, and it has truly been a pleasure to get to know so many people within our CAPHRI community better. Thank you for your efforts, support and enthusiasm in all you do!
I am looking forward to the next year in which we will finalize a new CAPHRI strategic programme. We have also started the preparations for the 6-year Self Evaluation that will take place on 29 and 30 November 2023. We will keep you informed...
For now, I wish you and your loved ones a safe and restful festive season and, above all, a healthy 2023!
Silvia Evers
Scientific Director CAPHRI

Cigarettes no less affordable since 2010 despite tobacco tax increases
|
|
The affordability of cigarettes in the Netherlands remained virtually unchanged between 2010 and 2020. Throughout this period, 100 packets of cigarettes cost smokers between 2.5 percent and 2.6 percent of their annual income. This has emerged from research by CAPHRI researchers et al., and makes it clear that the excise duty increases have been insufficient to make smoking less affordable.
Cloé Geboers (Promoting Health and Personalised Care) was interviewed by Dutch newspaper NRC. Read the article (in Dutch) here.

The impact of schoolyard greening on children’s health
|
|
A schoolyard with lots of trees, water and huts and not just with tiles. A green schoolyard offers more variety and challenges for children. The idea is this will make children move more and therefore become healthier. Moreover, they can concentrate better in class. Whether this is really the case, is being investigated at a number of schools in the project The Green Healthy Primary School of the Future.
The NOS youth news took a look at a green primary school in Sittard, where researcher Bo van Engelen (Optimising Patient Care) told more about the project.
