Best Practice
This work advances the view that through both public and private initiatives, populations groups should be better enabled to protect and promote their own health. The most important tool here is to give responsibility for individual and community health back to individuals and communities themselves.
Best practice research aims to provide individuals and communities with the knowledge and resources required to make health promotion at this level possible.
The Research Centre for Health Promotion and Resources HiST/NTNU has therefore established a Centre for Best Practice to assist users, organizations and workplaces to:
- Gather and systemize research/knowledge on important health promotional and preventive interventions
- Effectively put that knowledge into practice (through the developement and dissemination of "how-to-do-it-manuals)
- Evaluate the outcomes of health promotion and preventive knowledge-based initiatives once they are implemented
