About the conference

The final conference of the Health Equity Pilot Project (HEPP) took place on the 6th December 2018, in Brussels. This project focused on health inequalities by identifying inequalities in nutrition and physical activity and alcohol consumption and outcomes, as well as the evidence of effective interventions.

During the final conference, there were discussions on the importance to address health inequalities in policy design, the actions to reduce behaviour-related health inequalities, strategies for getting evidence into policy and action, and future work on health inequalities.
