Sandwell Proof of Concept - Link Local Government Disease Prevention Planning to Community Behaviour Change

公民的健康和幸福对英国新经济和未来的繁荣至关重要。空气污染是导致早逝的主要环境原因--相当于全球所有死亡人数的5%。空气污染还导致了大量的发病率，造成了短期和长期的健康影响，也是造成健康不平等的一个重要因素。该项目将在英国桑德韦尔进行概念验证，使当地政府能够：通过计算疾病预防的短期和长期好处来规划健康优先事项；在空气排放存在重大健康风险的地点以数字方式“轻推”行为变化；以及近乎实时地告知公民他们对交通工具和家庭燃料的选择对健康的影响。一种自动驱动的数字体验将告知公民他们对交通工具和家庭燃料的选择对健康的影响。市政规划者将指导市民的选择，随着时间的推移，将空气污染与健康和相关的医疗保健成本联系起来，协助地方当局制定政策和资源规划，以采取有针对性的缓解措施和公共健康活动。这一创新将近乎实时地整合相关的健康、环境和成本数据。地方当局有能力根据协调一致的行为变化，发布与长期人口健康结果相一致的健康建议。概念验证将在桑德韦尔市进行，吸取的经验教训将推广到英国议会，寻求通过改变社区行为来预防疾病，以减少空气排放。作为该领域的领导者，桑德韦尔正在推动紧急进展，以减少行政区空气质量管理区的高浓度二氧化氮(NO2)和可呼吸粉尘颗粒(PM2.5)。污染的空气污染将改善环境和公众健康。在英国国家健康与护理卓越研究所(NICE)/PHE空气污染指南中，敦促地方当局考虑一系列有效的干预措施，鼓励向低排放或零排放地区迁移。

Citizen health and wellbeing are vital to the UK New Economy and future prosperity.Air pollution is the leading environmental cause of early death -- contributing to the equivalent of 5% of all deaths globally. Air pollution is also responsible for a substantial amount of morbidity, causing short and long term health effects, as well as a significant contributor to health inequalities.The project will demonstrate a proof of concept in Sandwell, UK that enables the local authority to: plan health priorities by calculating short- and long-term benefits of Disease Prevention; digitally 'nudge' behaviour change at locations where air emissions present significant health risk; and inform citizens in near real time of health impacts from their choice of transport and home fuels.A self-driven digital experience will inform citizens of the health impacts from their choice of transport and home fuels. Council planners will guide citizen choices, linking air pollution to health and related health care costs over time, assisting local authority policy and resource planning for targeted mitigation measures and public health campaigns.This innovation will integrate, co-related health, environment and costing data in near, real-time. Local authorities gain the ability to issue health advice with long-term population health outcomes, aligned to coordinated behaviour change.The proof of concept will be delivered in the Municipal Borough of Sandwell ('Sandwell') with lessons learned rolled out to UK Councils seeking Disease Prevention through community behaviour change to reduce air emissions.As a leader in this domain, Sandwell is driving urgent progress to reduce high concentrations of Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and breathable dust particles (PM2.5) in the Borough Air Quality Management Area.Tackling air pollution will improve both the environment and public health. In the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)/PHE air pollution guidance, local authorities are urged to consider a range of effective interventions that encourage movement to low or zero emission areas.
