Material deprivation and self-rated health
Health promoting schools
The World Health Organization has operationalized health promotion in schools through a Health Promoting Schools (HPS) ideology that proposes that the entire school setting must support student well-being and health through the curriculum, the school environment, and links with family and community. In this paper we trace the development of HPS ideology in Latvia and evaluate its successes. We note that HPS has developed the required administrati…
Mutual Help in Relation to Health
Health for all young people in Europe
According to the World Health Organization, health is more than the absence of disease. Health encompasses physical, emotional and social well-being. It is a resource that allows people to realize their full potential.1 To better understand how this conception of health applies to young people, researchers in Europe and Canada have jointly collected information from eleven to sixteen-year-old children on their health behaviours, attitudes and hea…

Mental health and depression among adolescents in Latvia
Depression is a common sign of distress in the adult population. Its occurrence has been linked to life stress, poor interpersonal relationships, breakdown in social, emotional, and intellectual functioning, and suicide.

There is growing evidence that at any given time between 5% and 10% of the normal school population ar…
School-based community development as a health promotion strategy for children
In this paper we discuss our experience of engaging 9–10-year-old children in grade 4 in a community development process to deal with community health problems they consider important. With guidance from a facilitator, young children can work cooperatively to identify problems, set priorities, and design and implement activities to address a community health issue. They can reflect upon their actions and the process within which they have worked …
Children, empowerment and health promotion
We focus on the goal of health promotion to empower persons to alter the conditions that affect their health. The conception of empowerment applied to children implies a fundamental change in the manner in which children are perceived. We propose that it demands a shift from thinking about children as recipients of health promotion efforts on their behalf to children as partners in health promotion whose views and concerns about health are accept…
