title: Driving health promotion into the community: an initiative evaluated.
abstract: Health promotion and lifestyle advice is traditionally undertaken within health centres and general practices. However, evidence indicates that it can have modest impact on preventing disease. More contemporary ideas emphasize a community-based approach to health promotion activities and ultimately focus any screening performance according to the needs of the public. Utilizing a multi-level community approach to health promotion and screening activity within the Black Country is highlighted as being highly successful in shaping a dynamic local community initiative.
