How important is it be able to rely on the support of patient associations throughout a therapy? We have organised Factor J sessions with them, involving 9000 young men and women in “therapeutic stories” in six areas: oncology, haematology, immunology, infectious diseases, pulmonary hypertension and neuroscience.
A local event is scheduled for today (Wed. April 27) at the Rome Liceo “I. Kant” at 11:00 with some of the 13 patient associations that are participating in the project network to raise awareness on health and wellbeing in the educational process. Local authorities, young ambassadors for Project Factor J and professionals from Janssen Italia, the pharmaceutical company of the Johnson & Johnson Group, will also be participating.
The event will also provide the opportunity to present the results of the third thematic research project produced by Project Factor J and developed by the University of Siena on changes in the lifestyles of youth connected to opinions concerning science. How influenced are students by scientists, doctors and health personnel? How many of believe that it is important to change habits?
The objective of Project Factor J, promoted by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale with Janssen Italia, is to increase the awareness of the younger generations in the progress of science, the importance of correct scientific information and the importance of responsible behaviour for everyone’s wellbeing and health.
The event will be held in observance of all the hygienic and health measures required for Covid-19 containment.
