Aims: Aims: to produce a list of Cancer Health Indicators to produce a list of Cancer Health Indicators to help develop European Health Data Bankto help develop European Health Data Bankto reduce inequalities in cancer controlto reduce inequalities in cancer control

PREVENTIONPREVENTION(indicators in ECHI list are underlined)(indicators in ECHI list are underlined)

• Consumption of fruit and vegetables

• Consumption of alcohol

• Body Mass Index distribution in the population

• Distribution of indicators on physical activity in

the population

• Prevalence of tobacco consumption

• Exposure to sun radiation

• Prevalence of occupational exposure to carcinogens (CAREX)

• % of radiation equipment on population• % of diagnostic Computed Axial Tomography (CTS) in the population

research and health research and health authoritiesauthorities

What’s needed?

a) To liase with cancer data sourcescancer data sources

b) To encourage the set-up of data collection in areas where information areas where information is unavailableis unavailable

c) To check data quality and promote standardisation

d) To develop a European health data bank

EUROCHIP-2

What must be done?

a) Analysis of indicators’ behaviour

b) Identification of deficiencies and differences in Europe taking into account health politics
