Parallellsesjoner
Hvordan kan vi sikre bedre fordeling av livskvalitet i befolkningen?
Livskvalitet er landets viktigste ressurs, men ofte ulikt fordelt i befolkningen. For å sikre en bedre fordeling av livskvalitet er det behov for å gjennomføre konkrete tiltak på ulike nivåer og arenaer – både universelle og strukturelle tiltak, og spesifikke intervensjoner rettet mot grupper og individer. I denne parallellsesjonen viser vi frem bredden av tiltak som bidrar til å fremme god livskvalitet for flere.
- Fem grep for økt hverdagsglede på tvers av nivåer
Maja Gunvor Eilertsen (FHI) og Monica Beer Prydz (UiO) - Verdien av helsefremmende og forebyggende intervensjoner
Arne Holte (FHI) - Hvordan kan vi fremme psykisk styrke i befolkningen?
Live Skow Hofgaard (UiO) - Hvem endrer seg mest, de fornøyde eller de som er mindre positive til tiltaket? Foreløpige resultater fra implementering av foreldreveiledningsprogrammet Tuning in to Kids (TIK) i FUS barnehage
Egil Nygaard (UiO)
Psykisk helse og livskvalitet blant ungdom
Ungdomstiden er en sårbar tid med mange endringer både biologisk og sosialt. I denne parallellsesjonen vil vi se nærmere på status for barn og unges psykiske helse og livskvalitet etter to år med pandemi. Vi vil bl.a. se hvordan gaming preger unges liv, samt se på viktige innsatsfaktorer for å sikre barn og unge oppvekstvilkår som fremmer god psykisk helse.

Har nabolaget noe å si for hvordan vi har det?
Det er i nabolaget og lokalmiljøet vi lever det meste av livene våre. Stedet vi bor gir oss ulike muligheter for deltakelse, tilhørighet og inkludering, som igjen har innflytelse på vår trivsel. I denne parallellsesjonen vil vi belyse hvordan egenskaper ved nabolaget du vokser opp i påvirker din psykiske helse og livskvalitet gjennom hele livet.
Rusproblemer og rusreform
Det er en tett kobling mellom rusmiddelbruk, psykisk helse og livskvalitet. Hvordan kan vi jobbe for å sikre bedre liv for personer som sliter med rusmisbruk? Og hvilke forebyggende tiltak kan vi iverksette for å hindre risikabel bruk? I denne parallellsesjonen undersøker vi kunnskap og praksis på rusfeltet, og ser nærmere på status for rusreformen.
