Towards a population-based approach to prevention, care and support by identifying vulnerable groups as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and response measures

Project description The corona virus and the measures taken have major consequences for the health of the Dutch population. The consequences are not evenly distributed and not always clearly visible. Vulnerable groups in particular are less well identified. This is important in order to have the complete picture in order to find the balance between what the control measures yield (health gain) and costs (health loss). The following objectives are central to this project: Gaining insight into which groups are vulnerable to the Corona measures and why Looking for good examples to recognize early when vulnerability arises and ways to prevent it. This is done by looking in various neighborhoods in the province of Utrecht to see which good examples there are already, and what needs to be developed in order to stay healthy. Ensuring that the knowledge of objectives 1 and 2 can also be used in other places, for example in other cities, in other countries and in (care) training courses.
