www.equipt.eu FINAL CONFERENCE (EQUIPT): COUNTING THE NET BENEFIT OF INVESTING IN EVIDENCE-BASED TOBACCO CONTROL IN EUROPE BRUSSELS, 27 SEPTEMBER 2016 2- EQUIPT Dear Delegates, Welcome to the EQUIPT Final Project Conference, Counting the Net Benefit of Final Project Investing in Evidence-based Tobacco Control in Europe. Conference Thanks to several innovations in recent decades - such as rigorous taxation, smoke- free legislation and the implementation of cost-effective stop-smoking interventions- smoking prevalence has declined over time. However, the rate at which smoking pre- valence is falling is stagnating and prevalence remains high in certain sub-groups WELCOME in the population. We know from the available evidence that coordinated, high impact and comprehen- sive approaches are the most effective ways to reduce smoking initiation, prevalence and intensity. However, policy makers and public health procurers still lack the data and financial justification to make the case for investment in tackling the scourge of tobacco. They need options that resonate to real practice and are cost-effective too. To fill this important gap in evidence, the EQUIPT project has brought together eleven institutions from seven European member states with multi-disciplinary expertise to provide policy makers and wider stakeholders with bespoke information about the economic and wider returns that investing in evidence-based tobacco control inclu- ding smoking cessation agendas can generate. On behalf of the full EQUIPT project team, it is my pleasure to present you with the results of three years of intense and passionate work on return on investment of to- bacco control policies, which is now to be consulted on the EQUIPT project website www.equipt.eu along with explanatory material on its use. Thank you to all partners and stakeholders for making EQUIPT a reality. On behalf of the EQUIPT Consortium, welcome to Brussels!
