Hello good people

I wonder if you might help me out. Here in Melbourne, the Department of
Human Services is working on a series of health promotion 'evidence-based'
resources. We have already produced six and are working on more:  Oral
Health, Adolescent Health, Falls Prevention, Child Injury Prevention, Body
Image - http://www.dhs.vic.gov.au/phd/ebhp/06bodyimage.htm  and Public
Health Nutrition (almost finished).

The next review is about the effectiveness and practical options for
integrating health promotion into the work of allied health workers, i.e.
dieticians, podiatrists, dental health nurses. The goal is to provide a
resource that practitioners could pick up and see a menu or list of health
promotion interventions that their colleagues had implemented as well as
how effective they had been.
   A second part of the review could include the infrastructure or systems
changes that were required for allied health practitioners to turn their
hands to health promotion.

We doubt that there is much published literature in this area.  A case
study could supplement the evidence.

Are you aware of any literature, review, document that could help to kick
start the project? Once we clarify the task we shall get the experts to
perform the review.

Alternatively, can you suggest a better way to approach the topic?

THANK YOU, much appreciated
