Aim
The overall objective of the BaltCityPrevention project is a socio-economic innovation – a model for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases in adolescents, which is beneficial for municipalities and state institutions responsible for health promotion. This model is based on the assumption that it is necessary to go where the users are and to observe their personal lifestyle, their habits and special needs. In the case of adolescents it means integrating modern information communication technology devices into health promotion activities
