FILTERED - ELISAH

FILTERED

FILTERED is a European initiative that helps organisations work together to prevent major chronic diseases—such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Its main focus is on reducing three big risk factors:

• Alcohol consumption

• Tobacco use

• Unhealthy foods and drinks

The project brings civil-society groups together so they can learn from each other, collaborate, and advocate for healthier environments across Europe (including Ukraine). FILTERED encourages teamwork, shared knowledge, and joint actions so that changes can happen at national and European levels.

All activities follow the guidance of major European and international health strategies such as Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan, the EU “Healthier Together” initiative, and WHO recommendations. The project also promotes public discussions, training opportunities, and high-impact events to strengthen prevention policies and protect people’s health.

How FILTERED connects with ELISAH, PEACHD, ShowUp4Health and JA PreventNCD

With ELISAH:

Both focus on preventing diseases by addressing lifestyle-related risk factors—like smoking, alcohol, and unhealthy diets. ELISAH works directly with citizens through a mobile app that supports healthier choices, while FILTERED works at the policy and collaboration level to create environments that make those healthy choices easier for everyone.

With PEACHD:

FILTERED complements PEACHD by creating policies and collaborative environments that support healthcare-based prevention, helping patients make healthier lifestyle choices more effectively.

With ShowUp4Health:

FILTERED supports ShowUp4Health’s efforts by ensuring community-level and societal changes align with campaigns and initiatives that motivate citizens to adopt healthier habits.

With JA PreventNCD:

FILTERED contributes to JA PreventNCD’s mission by reinforcing European-level strategies and policy frameworks that prevent non-communicable diseases, creating systemic impact across countries.

In short: FILTERED strengthens prevention by improving policies and collaboration, ShowUp4Health motivates citizens, ELISAH guides individuals digitally, PEACHD provides healthcare support, and JA PreventNCD ensures these actions contribute to a European-wide strategy—all working together to reduce chronic disease and promote healthier societies.
