Please find below a forwarded email from a colleague:
Dear Blake Poland and colleagues,
I am following with great interest the different discussions on the WHO
resolution on HP via INET. In reply to Blake Polands e-mail below I thought
it would be useful to let you know that the Executive Board of the World
Health Organization got - before they passed the resolution on Health
Promotion - the "Health Promotion Glossary" (1998) which was produced by
the Division on Health Promotion, Education and Communication (HPR),
directed by Ilona Kickbusch at WHO/Geneva. Don Nutbeam (Sydney, Australia)
was the main author and many colleagues within and outside WHO contributed
to it.
Have a very nice day
Yours,
Ursel Broesskamp-Stone
P.S.: to get a copy of the glossary (English only as of now) pl. download
it from the WHO website (www.who.ch/hpr) or write to [log in to unmask]

Merci Michel for having circulated this resolution.
While I don't share Donald's (narrow) vision of health promotion (health
education?), I do agree that the resolution remains altogether too vague
unless it at least attempts to indicate what is meant by "empowerment",
"community capacity", "partnership", a settings approach to health
promotion, and other such key terms (including health itself). Without this,
the resolution becomes, I think, altogether too maleable and platitudinous
potentially legitimating rhetoric for a host of practices which we might
well not support. I would also have liked to see a stronger focus on social
justice and on economic disparities (gap b/n rich and poor) as key
determinants of health.
