Dear Irati, Ane,

 

I hope you had a good Easter break. As we are approaching the submission date, I would like to make sure we have all we need from you for finalising the proposal.

 

I would like to confirm, first of all, that you will be implementing the intervention for the age group 19-25, following on from the JACARDI pilot you are currently running. As in JACARDI, the characteristics of the intervention that will eventually be implemented will be the result of a co-creation process that will take place at the start of the project. We envisage interventions to start in September-October 2027. As you know from the intervention plan that will be included in the proposal (attached here – Intervention package 2), we plan to start the intervention in the final year of secondary school, when the young people we want to reach are still 18, and we will then follow up those young people as they make the transition to tertiary education or work in the following years.

 

In line with this, it would be helpful if you could send us some information as follows:

 

  1. If possible, provide some context (a couple of paragraphs maximum) on the three health conditions that we are considering in the project (obesity, mental health and addictions) in young people in the Basque Country.
  2. Identify key local players that may need to be involved for the successful implementation of the interventions (e.g. school authorities, youth organisations, etc.). Please, consider whether any of these actors may require resources from the project for their involvement, and whether they may need to be listed as partners or sub-contractors in the proposal.
  3. Identify the sites where the interventions will take place. How many with they be? Where are they located in the country?
  4. Identify approximate numbers of young people who will be involved in the above sites.

 

I am attaching the intervention description that has been provided by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health for this proposal. This is focused on the younger age group, but it is comprehensive and well written, so you may use this as an example.

 

Please, let me know if you need any additional information at this stage.

 

Sincerely,

 

Franco
