A project team led by Igor Grabovac from Department of Social and Preventive Medicine at the Medical University of Vienna's Center for Public Health has been awarded a prestigious Horizon Europe Grant for the "Co-CAPTAIN" project. The aim of the project is to reduce health inequalities for people with mental ill-health and to improve their access to appropriate services. The grant is endowed with 2.5 million euros. Cancer and mental ill-health are one of the biggest health problems in Europe. More than 80 million people in Europe report mental ill-health and about four million new cases of cancer are diagnosed every year. People with mental ill-health in particular have a higher incidence of cancer and mortality. This may be linked to risky health behaviours and significant barriers to accessing health systems.
