Priorities for Good Life
The Norwegian Public Health Association (NOPHA) was established in 1998, and is a membership-based, interdisciplinary national association that fosters collaboration between research environments, professional organizations, politicians, and the public, private, and voluntary sectors to improve public health. The association works to:
- Ensure health-promoting environments, good living conditions, and well-being for all groups in society, including reducing social health disparities.
- Provide everyone with the opportunity to be active, do things together, and experience mastery and meaning in everyday life.
- Influence the shaping of public health policy locally, nationally, and globally
Abstracts from the Norwegian Public Health Conference 2025
One of our most important achievements has been organizing an annual national public health conference since 2005. This conference has grown to become the largest of its kind in Norway, with 600-700 participants. It is an important networking and learning arena.This year, the main theme of the conference is “Priorities for good life”.
In 27 parallel sessions, researchers and practitioners from across the country present their research and experiences on various sub-themes of the conference. 41 of the abstracts are written in English. These abstracts are presented in this issue, organized into the main sub-themes of the conference. Some are research abstracts (marked with an F), and others are practice abstracts (marked with a P).
We would like to thank NOPHA member and head of NOPHA Young Linn Alvsvåg and the NOPHA Young members for their contribution in editing the abstract chapters. We would like to express our gratitude to the volunteer members of the Scientific Committee for their contributions to the evaluation of the 129 submitted abstracts.NOPHA, together with the other four Nordic Public Health Associations, owns the Scandinavian Journal of Public Health (SJPH). We are proud to present this Supplement issue of SJPH, containing some of the abstracts of research and practice presented at the Public Health Conference in Kristiansand, October 2025.
We hope it will reach a broader audience among our Nordic and international public health colleagues.
