About the project

HITT-CIS is a follow-up project that continues the research efforts started by the FP5 INCO-Copernicus Project LLH (Living Conditions, Lifestyles and Health).

We try to understand better the circumstances in which people of the post-soviet countries live, how good or bad is the quality of health service they receive and how could they access the healthcare facilities. Furthermore, our aim is to access their healthy or unhealthy lifestyles, patterns of nutrition, quality and forms of food they usually buy and consume, as well as habits of alcohol and tobacco consumption.
