You may recall receiving the request below for materials to include in the
Annotated Bioliogrpahy that we are preparing for the Fourth International
Conference on Health Promotion to take place in Indoneia in July. To date, we have
received six responses which we appreciate. If you have something that you think
should be included, could you please forward it to us by June 2. Thank you for your
help in this matter.

A bibliography of selected health promotion and health education
resources is being prepared for the upcoming conference in July 1997.
Collaborating Centres and others in the field of health promotion are
invited to submit useful references and short summaries for inclusion in the
bibliography. Recently  published books, government documents,
journal articles and reports are welcome as well as World Wide Web
sites. Emphasis will be placed on materials published in the last 3
years. In addition to being available in print form, the bibliography will be set up
as a Web site. As such it will be accessible to participants at the conference
and others in the health promotion community.

Three sample references follows. Please use the same format.

Technical report:

Canada's health promotion survey: technical report /  Irving
Rootman, et al, editors. Ottawa: Ministry of Supply and Services Canada, 1988.
243 p. (English only)

This report describes in detail the major findings of Canada health
promotion survey conducted in 1985 by Statistics Canada for the
Health Promotion Directorate of Health and Welfare. The major finding
is that continued impressive gains in health promotion and disease
prevention will require more complex, targeted and differentiated
strategies for different groups in society. A useful resource
document for health promotion planners and also a good example of a
national survey.

Journal article:

Good life-styles for good health / Walter W. Holland & Ellie Breeze.
World Health Forum 1986;7(4):380-386. (English, French and Spanish).

This article underlines the necessity to encourage people to adopt
healthier lifestyles in order to control non-communicable disease
both in developing and developed countries. It provides guidelines
for a strategy to promote health and reduce risks in every sector of
society.

Book:

Free to be foolish: Politics and health promotion in the United
States and Great Britain / Howard M. Leichter. Princeton, NJ:
Princeton University Press, 1991. 281 p. (English only)

This comparative study of British and American health promotion
policies addresses the current debate over the role of government in
two post-industrial democratic societyies in helping people secure
both good health and personal freedom. It suggests that despite
common public health challenges, variations in culture values and
political structure have produced differences in the timing and
nature of the health policy response in each country.
