Using research results as a health promotion strategy: a five-year case study in Canada

GORDON MUTTER

Health Promotion Directorate, Health and Welfare Canada Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Researchers in the field of health tend to share the results of their studies with colleagues by presenting papers and publishing in professional Journals. This practice is no longer adequate to promote major changes, as the infhiencers or agents of change such as senior administrators, elected officials and even the voting public remain ignorant of the studies and their results. This article presents a case study of an effective, practical health promotion strategy aimed at these agents of change. It describes the planned, systematic dissemination of the results of two national surveys of the health knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of schoolchildren in Canada. As a result, major influences and changes have been documented in the development of programmes, resources and policies relevant to improved health education in schools across Canada.
