Colleagues with an interest in health promotion and ethnicity might like to know of the publication of this recent study, funded by Health Scotland. It is accessible through the link below:

 

http://www.healthscotland.com/uploads/documents/8886-HealthPromotionAndPreventionInterventions20080801.pdf

 

The study – first publicised through this list - covers physical activity, smoking cessation and dietary interventions as well as interventions relating to CVD and cancer. It is a review of mostly published interventions in the USA and the UK although a small number of studies in the ‘grey literature’ were also identified. It is probably also worth mentioning that a new HTA funded study led by Professors Aziz Sheikh and Raj Bhopal will build on this work.

 

 

best wishes

Gina
