 The WHO/HBSC Forum 2007 process, dedicated to “Social cohesion for mental well-being among adolescents”, engaged intersectoral policy-makers, researchers and programme managers from 17 Member States in considering the following issues:
- Translating research into policies and action.
- Intersectoral action.
- Addressing health inequities.
- Involving young people.
 
   
arrowBackground papers 
 The Forum process also included the preparation of background papers on: cross-national HBSC data on mental well-being in school-aged children in Europe; socioeconomic inequalities in mental health among adolescents in Europe; and economic aspects of mental health in children and adolescents. 
   
arrowCase studies 
 National and subnational case studies were a core component of the WHO/HBSC Forum 2007 process. The aim of the case studies is not to record best practices, but to document experiences in relation to enabling and restraining factors in building social cohesion for mental well-being among adolescents.
