You may want to contact the International Health Promoting Hospitals and Health Services (HPH) secretariat as well, as they may be aware of examples from other countries (I'm thinking of their work in Denmark for sure) that they can share with you: http://clinicalhealthpromotion.dk/
http://www.who-cc.dk/
Many of the International HPH conferences have had posters and/or concurrent sessions ('gray literature') that would have examples related to your request and you can find all of these online at:
http://www.hph-hc.cc/index.php
http://www.hph-hc.cc/conferences.php
Another program launched recently by the Montreal HPH Network here in Canada are their new Health Resource Centres located throughout the community, accessed by the general public with or without a referral from their primary care providers . I believe that they will have an evaluation component, but since these just opened in various community locations, I am pretty certain that there are no evaluations available yet.
Dr. Robert Perreault is the contact doing this work in Montreal but I do not have his email address (the presentations from the recent Berlin conference will be online soon if they are not available yet)
http://www.univie.ac.at/hph/berlin2008/php/ParallelSession4.pdf
I would also be interested in receiving a summary/synthesis of the feedback/information that you receive, if you are planning to prepare one.
I hope that is helpful.

Dear colleagues,
Researchers at Northumbria University are undertaking an evidence synthesis funded by the Department of Health to explore the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of different types of health-related lifestyle adviser or trainer. As the formal evidence base (i.e. published literature) on this subject is relatively small, we are attempting to access as much 'grey' literature as possible using various search strategies, including directly contacting experts and those working in the field.
We are interested in evaluations of services and interventions that involve the delivery of health-related lifestyle advice or training to local people, generally by those without a professional background. A key example is the NHS Health Trainers initiative, although many others exist. If you are aware of any unpublished literature on this subject, or know of anyone else who might be able to provide this information, then please contact Shelina Visram on +44 (0) 191 215 66682 or email <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] If you have any questions about the evidence synthesis then please contact me on the details below.
Best wishes,
Dr Susan Carr
