There is a body of literature that can be found by searching "clinical
health promotion" and "health promoting hospitals/organizations".  Based on
work I have done recently, there is alot out there, but you won't
necessarily find it by using the the term health promotion.  Find out what
language the health professionals you are aiming this resource towards use.
Otherwise, what you will find is lots of information on employee wellness
for these groups and examples of smoking cessation programs.  Please contact
me directly if would like any more insight, as I am currently working on
similar type work.

Subject: Help please - Evidence-Based...


> 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
