*** Hi down under !

Several operations worldwide are trying to do exactly what your
purport to do; they are critically reviewed in a very thorough and
useful manner in a document prepared by Jackson et al. last year for
the Canadian consortium of Health Promotion research. The following
link provides their analysis as well as links to most of the major
evidence seaking initiatives in health promotion across the world
like the Cochrane Collaboration, etc.

>Hello good people
>
>I wonder if you might help me out. Here in Melbourne, the Department of
>Human Services is working on a series of health promotion 'evidence-based'
>resources. We have already produced six and are working on more:  Oral
>Health, Adolescent Health, Falls Prevention, Child Injury Prevention, Body
>Image - http://www.dhs.vic.gov.au/phd/ebhp/06bodyimage.htm  and Public
>Health Nutrition (almost finished).
>
>The next review is about the effectiveness and practical options for
>integrating health promotion into the work of allied health workers, i.e.
>dieticians, podiatrists, dental health nurses. The goal is to provide a
>resource that practitioners could pick up and see a menu or list of health
>promotion interventions that their colleagues had implemented as well as
>how effective they had been.
>    A second part of the review could include the infrastructure or systems
>changes that were required for allied health practitioners to turn their
>hands to health promotion.
>
>We doubt that there is much published literature in this area.  A case
>study could supplement the evidence.
>
>Are you aware of any literature, review, document that could help to kick
>start the project? Once we clarify the task we shall get the experts to
>perform the review.
>
>Alternatively, can you suggest a better way to approach the topic?
>
>THANK YOU, much appreciated
