fined for the PHI model, several enchained indices can

be defined: dimensional health indices by weighted

sum of the values on indicators within each health di-

the dimension indices within each area of concern, i.e.,

Accordingly, the EURO-HEALTHY PHI will be such that if

two regions score equally on the outcomes PHI but

role in this process?

In view of defining a

role is to lead the tech-

Delphi process and will be followed by a decision con-

ferencing process.

EURO-Healthy is using Delphi panel techniques with

the use of experts not only to select the indicators

but also to weight them and define the shapes of

their value functions. What are the practicalities of

this methodology?

ĨƌŝĞŶĚůǇĂŶĚĂƩ ƌĂĐƟǀ ĞŝŶƚĞƌĨĂĐĞ

Given the innovative features of the socio-technical

processes used, when we design and implement each

process we always take into account the characteris-

tics of the participants, trying to anticipate their even-

tual difficulties and needs and to promote a good

communication and a clarification of concepts.

For this reason emphasis was also given to the devel-

opment of supporting materials, like the writing of

the emails of invitation and instructions to partici-

pants for each round. One interesting experience was

the development of a tailor-made “Mr. Help” that fo-

cused on specific questions some of the participants

asked regarding the Web-Delphi for value functions.

What has been the most challenging process so far?

After selecting the indicators, the Web-Delphi plat-

form was used to elicit qualitative judgement about

the importance of each indicator. The question posed

to the panel was challenging: being presented with

the indicator range from worst to best performance

INDICATORS AND DATA COLLECTION

Under the Delphi process to select the key indicators of

the Population Health Index (PHI), EURO-HEALTHY pan-

el of experts and stakeholders reached consensus on 80

indicators, both determinants and outcomes, consid-

ered relevant to include in the multicriteria model. They

integrate the following areas of concern: i) Economic

and Social Environment; ii) Demographic Change; iii)

Health Behaviours; iv) Physical Environment; v) Built

Environment; vi) Healthcare Services and vii) Health

Outcomes.

1ST ANNUAL MEETING IN BARCELONA,

FEBRUARY 2016The 1st Annual Meeting took place in Barcelona, be-

tween the 3rd and 4th February 2016 (Figure 6). The

meeting was divided into three separate sessions. Two

parallel sessions took place on the 3rd of February

(detailed below) and a further session took place on

the following day for all partners.

On the 3rd, two meetings were held in parallel sessions:

1) Project Steering Group (PSG) session

2) Focal Points session

The PSG meeting aimed to discuss relevant issues re-

garding the methodology to construct the Population

Health Index, experts and stakeholders panel for partic-

ipatory processes and the project glossary content.

Forthcoming meetings and conference participation

such as the upcoming European Public Health confer-

ence, held in Vienna, were discussed.

Regarding the Focal Points meeting, which took place

as a parallel session, participants attending were repre-

sentatives of the 10 metropolitan areas included in the

Euro-Healthy project. The meeting focused on provid-

ing an update on data identification, availability and

different stages of collection for each of the focal

points involved. Specifically, each focal point presented

their metropolitan area and concerns and constraints

on collecting the data.
