MOBHOPE: our first year
Three countries, shared tools and a common direction: MOBHOPE reaches the end of its first year with training resources, screening protocols and a framework for research and cooperation.
Building a shared approach
During its first year, MOBHOPE has brought together the experience of mobile teams in Spain, Portugal and Croatia. The project has developed common working methods that connect prevention, screening, referral and continuity of care. This update draws on the interim project report dated 29 October 2026.
Practical resources for mobile teams
The first-year outputs include a five-module professional training package in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Croatian, and screening and referral protocols with country-specific operating procedures. The public document library brings these resources together with the research framework, anti-stigma programme, communication plan and data management plan.
Learning from the path to care
The shared research methodology follows the pathway from community outreach and screening to confirmation, referral, linkage to treatment and follow-up. Its purpose is to identify barriers and gaps, compare experience across settings and inform improvements in mobile services. These are the foundations for evidence generation; consolidated clinical outcomes are not reported in this update.
Dignity and European cooperation
The anti-stigma programme connects professional learning, listening to people’s experiences, accessible information and the development of a future European service model. Bilateral meetings with SHIELD in May and October 2026 have opened practical exchanges on stigma, training and methodology.
The next stage
The second year will focus on expanding and analysing data, evaluating training and anti-stigma activities, strengthening referral and follow-up, and translating lessons from the three countries into a common service package. These are planned activities, with progress to be reported as evidence becomes available.
