Developing the health promotion knowledge of the municipalities in South-Savo County in Finland.
Health determinants are not only biology and genetic endowment, but also income and social status, education, employment and working conditions, physical environment, social support networks, healthy childhood development, health services and personal health practices and coping skills. Successful health promotion means working together with local and regional authorities and politicians in every administrative sector in firm cooperation with health education, health professionals and local residents. The project for developing health promotion knowledge in management and decision-making contributes to the requirements of partnership working.
