Health Promotion - Principles and Approaches

One of the key principles of the Ottawa Charta is participation. Community health interventions should involve the community, i.e., residents and local actors. In Hamburg, we tried to put this principle into practice during a project initiated by the municipal health service in a disadvantaged quarter with about 3000 inhabitants. The contribution starts with an account of the meaning of participation in health promotion (1) and gives an overview of participation methods in general (2). The next part contains a short account of our project (3). Five examples are presented in part four: a survey with key actors and two approaches to listening to residents’ perceptions of capacity building in the neighborhood. Another survey of residents was meant to explore the use of health promotion offers and the preparedness to get involved. The last example is the round table of local actors as a sort of steering committee for health promotion interventions (4). Key findings of the examples are: Surveys do result in valuable information for the local actors. The expressed willingness to participate is larger than the actual participation. Opportunities to participate (in surveys and at the round table) are welcome by local actors. In the last section we discuss the advantages, problems and some illusions concerning participation in health promotion (5).

“…Participation is a central principle of health promotion (WHO 1986;Mossakowski et al 2009). According to the concept of participatory quality development by Wright et al (2010), ideally, all stakeholders in a project-which means not only the project staff and the target group but also the strategic partners, the stakeholders in the district and the sponsors-work together equally in all phases of the project development, ranging from needs assessment to evaluation ("public health action cycle", Wright et al 2010).…”

Aim Children from socially disadvantaged families are deprived concerning their health status as well as their cognitive and emotional development. They show less positive health-related behaviors and less psycho-social resources. Socially disadvantaged families can hardly be reached by conventional health services and health promoting measures, and even if they are reached, the measures' effectiveness is only limited. Therefore, aim of the BMBF-funded research project "GO-Healthy in east Leipzig" is to develop a community-based approach for health promotion by which, in particular, the access to the target group of the socially disadvantaged is improved. Subjects and methods Participatory and low-threshold interventions are integrated with already existing structures within the respective urban district. Multipliers are assigned and impart information as well as their knowledge and experiences to the target group in a manner apt and suitable to their everyday lives. Results From January 2010 to June 2011, 1,300 women took part in health-promotion measures offered within the scope of the project. Women disposing of a low income (>50%) and having a migration background (70%) were sufficiently reached, in contrast to women with a low educational level (22%). Personal contact proved to be the most important way to access the people (80%). Most frequently, activities carried out by health mediators and enjoyable activities were attended. Social contacts turned out to be an especially important motivation for participation. Conclusion Strategies such as participation and the assignment of multipliers are suitable approaches to successfully develop and implement health-promotion measures in the community/urban-district setting. To integrate health education with enjoyable, action-oriented activities in a casual manner facilitates accessing socially disadvantaged persons.
