New Website • 13.07.2021REDIM Project Website Launched
The ERC funded project on regional disparities in cause-specific mortality in Europe has launched its project website containing detailed information on its objectives, strategy, data sources, publications and news.
Life expectancy in Europe has risen considerably in recent decades. However, it is still unclear which European regions and countries benefit the most from this trend. What regional differences in causes of death are responsible for this? To what extent can differences between neighbouring border regions of two or more countries be explained by different national health policies? These are questions that Dr. Pavel Grigoriev and his team want to address.
The new website is the place to learn more about the objectives, strategy, data sources, publications and current findings of the REDIM project.
Findings Expected for More than 20 European Countries
For the first time, REDIM systematically and comprehensively analyses the persistent and emerging regional differences in mortality in more than 20 European countries, focusing on the causes of death. REDIM analyses the impact of local conditions and the specific national health policies on the mortality of the population. The project’s findings are important for the integration process within the European Union as its aim is to provide equal access to health care in all member states of the European Union.
