EAPS Health, Morbidity, and Mortality Workshop - The next workshop of the EAPS Health, Morbidity, and Mortality Working Group is scheduled for September 21-23, 2020, in Évora, Portugal. The theme of the workshop will be “A broken promise: Advances and challenges in infant, child and young people’s morbidity and mortality.” The workshop will focus on mapping differences in infant and child mortality between less- and more-developed countries and regions across the world and, within these, by gender, racial and ethnic origin, and social class. We shall examine, inter alia, the role of vaccination, early-childhood nutrition, sanitation, clean water, and targeted interventions for specific diseases, but also the role of intentional and non-intentional injuries: war and political violence, road injuries, suicide, interpersonal violence, and social and economic insecurity. Please submit abstracts to Jon Anson and Rosalina Pisco Costa by Friday April 3, 2020. We hope to respond by the beginning of May. As usual, there will be no fee for the workshop, but participants are expected to pay for their own travel and accommodation.
