An innovative toolbox to develop and evaluate a Personal Budget system together with chronic care stakeholders in Flanders and in Europe
In Flanders (the northern part of Belgium), as in many other countries, care and welfare policy for people with chronic care and support needs, such as people with disabilities (PwD), is undergoing a large-scale transformation from a service-centred to a more user-centred approach. This transformation is largely driven by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which promotes the autonomous practice of de…
Harmonization of Human Biomonitoring Studies in Europe
Human biomonitoring has become a pivotal tool for supporting chemicals' policies. It provides information on real-life human exposures and is increasingly used to prioritize chemicals of health concern and to evaluate the success of chemical policies. Europe has launched the ambitious REACH program in 2007 to improve the protection of human health and the environment. In October 2020 the EU commission published its new chemicals strategy for sust…
Determinants of Chronic Biological Stress, Measured as Hair Cortisol Concentration, in a General Population of Adolescents
Chronic biological stress may adversely affect adolescents' physical and mental health, but insight in the personal and environmental factors that determine chronic stress is limited. We measured 3-month cumulative hair cortisol concentration (HCC) in 419 adolescents, participating in the Flemish Environment and Health Study. Adolescents' health and lifestyle characteristics, household and neighborhood socio-economic status as well as neighborhoo…
Human Biomonitoring Data Enables Evidence-Informed Policy to Reduce Internal Exposure to Persistent Organic Compounds
Human biomonitoring (HBM) monitors levels of environmental pollutants in human samples, which often is a topic of concern for residents near industrially contaminated sites (ICSs). Around an ICS area in Menen (Belgium), including a (former) municipal waste incinerator and a metal recovery plant, increasing environmental concentrations of dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were observed, causing growing concern among residents and author…
