Youth health

Children in the Netherlands grow up reasonably healthy. Yet there are things that could be better. Therefore, we are working on methods that contribute to a healthy, safe and promising growing-up and parenting environment for young people.

A promising start for every child

The first 1,000 days of life are crucial for children’s safe and healthy development. TNO develops measurement tools and interventions to optimise care and give child welfare professionals insight into the development of the very young.
