Despite the fact that the use of masks and respirators in adults has already reached a consensus in almost all countries and for situations in which they are recommended, this is not the case for the use of mask by children. This statement, regarding the usage of mask by children, has been jointly produced by the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) and the European Academy of Paediatrics (EAP). It provides recommendations on the size of the mask, the material and ergonomics of children's masks. The authors also discuss the psychological dimension of children when they are asked to wear a mask. Moreover, they tackle the difficulties of children with disabilities.

Abstract Introduction Disease prevention and health promotion are closely related through the lifestyle concept and should be part of the postgraduate curriculum of every School of Public Health (SPH) in the European Region and beyond, especially concerning the modifiable behaviors of physical activity and healthy nutrition. Methods The Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) executed 2 surveys on the activities of its members between 2011 and 2015/16. A group of 48 SPH responded in both surveys. The performance of graduates was measured by a Likert scale of 1-5, applied to the 10 Essential Public Health Operations (EPHOs). Furthermore, we determined the delay in full implementation for the target year 2030. The target to offer both modules in 2030 has been set at 100% of all SPHs. Results For disease prevention as for health promotion, the 2nd Survey in 2015/16 shows slightly less positive results offering these two modules (72.9 vs. 77.1 and 81.3 v. 87.5%) as compared to the 1st Survey in 2011. The only exception is the use of social media which - as a method of teaching and training - increased for disease prevention from 20.8 to 37.5% of all SPH and for health promotion from 22.9 to 39.6%. Referring to the set target of 100% for running these two modules, considerable delays between 4 and 13.5 years accumulate for the target year 2030. Conclusions Except for the use of social media, progress towards 2030 is slow or even negative. Serious efforts have to be made by ASPHER to reverse this lack of progress.

Objective: The main objective was to examine, how European Schools of Public Health (SPHs) responded to the COVID-19 pandemic through 2020, across the main activity domains of the SPHs.Methods: A cross-sectional survey based on an online questionnaire concerning the anti-COVID-19 activities from 1st March to 31st October 2020 of the 117 members of the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER). The questionnaire asked about 33 sub-themes within the four main themes of teaching, health communication to the public, research, and consultancy/advice.Results: Fifty-nine SPHs (50%) completed the questionnaire. Seventy-nine per cent of participants were involved in COVID-19 related teaching; health communication to the public, 76%; research, 80%; consultancy/advice, 81%. Eight out of ten participants had been involved in all of the four main themes.Conclusion: The study demonstrated a substantial body of COVID-19 related work by SPHs in Europe, and an outstanding potential to deliver crucial knowledge and skills to support the governance and the public health systems necessary to combat COVID-19.
