Introduction
REVES (Espérance de Vie et Santé) is an international organization for the promotion of the use of health expectancies as an indicator of the health of populations.
The REVES network was set up in 1989 by the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM, Montpellier), the Social Affairs Council, Quebec, Canada, and the Center for Demographic Studies, Durham, North Carolina, United States. REVES now includes over 150 scientists and policy makers representing 30 countries worldwide as well as a wide range of professional disciplines including demography, epidemiology, gerontology, sociology, psychology, public health, health economics, medicine, biology and statistics. More information on REVES meetings, here: https://reves.site.ined.fr/en/
The main objectives of the REVES network are to:
Undertake research and disseminate findings for the comparison and interpretation of health expectancies both cross-nationally and over time;
Promote the use of health expectancy for public policy and planning and for the evaluation of public health programs; and
Research and promote the use of standardized methods for collection of underlying health and disability data and for calculation of health expectancies.
The 34th REVES meeting will be held May 24 - 26, 2023, in Padova, Italy, at the Botanical Garden. A REVES conference workshop on software to compute health expectancy (IMaCh & SPACE) will be held on May 22nd - 23rd at Department of Statistical Sciences, Padova University.
The call for abstracts is now open and abstracts will be due around the end of March.
