"......There is growing interest in the potential for preventive
interventions to improve average health status in OECD countries and to
tackle remaining health inequalities. The interest is in a wide range of
interventions spanning not only health services but also measures to
influence behavior and lifestyles and action to improve the contribution of
the social, economic and physical environments to health. These
interventions are referred to in this paper as examples of a government's
'population health investment' effort.

The paper notes the evidence on trends in health and health inequalities in
OECD countries and reviews the general case for population health
investments and the evidence on the effectiveness of selected interventions.




It focuses on population health investment strategies and institutions in
five member countries:

Australia, Canada, Korea, Sweden and Switzerland. ...."
