Proposals should further address all of the following:

• Develop, test and evaluate the effective impacts of innovative primary cancer prevention programmes, possibly through the use of novel, including digital, solutions, for different population groups which should be involved in the design;
• Provide evidence-based cost-benefit analyses of the proposed programmes;
• Identify and address specific bottlenecks and barriers that prevent the uptake of sustainable behavioural change for different target populations, taking into account sectorial, socio-economic, cultural and geographical conditions as well as gender and age;
• Identify the most appropriate actors and develop incentives promoting sustainable behavioural change, such as increasing the uptake of the European Code against Cancer;
• Assess and validate parameters and factors facilitating or impeding behavioural change, and measure their impact;
• In addition, attention should be paid to health determinants, including occupational and environmental factors (e.g. pollution). Furthermore, education, socio-economic status, gender, age, and inequalities to access prevention programmes, which affects for example elderly people, people with disabilities, or minorities and people living in rural areas should be taken into consideration.
• Approaches on how to best reach and involve disadvantaged socio-economic population groups, vulnerable groups, and people living in rural areas, should be developed.
