Hello-

Last year I was introduced to the work of Chandler and
Lalonde who looked at suicide rates in Aboriginal
communities in relationship to community control /
self-governance of various organizations.  The Ottawa
Charter claims that: "Health promotion is the process
of enabling people to increase control over, and to
improve, their health."  While I strongly believe in
this principle, I have seen little 'proof' of the
relationship between health and increased community
control of programs, resources or policy development,
glimmers of which I saw in the work of Chandler and
Lalonde.

I am looking to build a health based argument to
promote citizen engagement, one of many theories /
processes to increase citizen control and am having a
hard time finding 'proof'.

If you know of any research / reports that speak to
this issue, I would be thankful if you could share the
references with me.

Thank you,
