Let me know if you have done research in the field of health promotion, more specifically its promotive actions. Are these actions cost-effective and do they show the value of health promotion?
Pavi - I hope that you do not mind me saying - but this is a huge question that can't really have a specific response unless you are more specific yourself. All health promotion is supposed to be 'promotive' and, in most cases, needs to be cost-effective - especially as it is a highly complex and competetive discipline.
I know, that 's why i am asking here😄 much research has done in the field of preventive actions, but promotive is more complex. Anyway somehow we should be able to make visible also those actions and their meaning. My purpose in this examination is to find out some cases which could show that healh promotion is important and it's worth of doing it. The relevance in public policy and in the Nordic welfare should make visible.
Sorry Paivi - I'm still 'none the wiser'. Most health promotion is important; it just depends on the relevance of its funding, evaluation, impact and dissemination.
