It distinguishes principles, benefits, and challenges of settings-based approaches.

Opening Discussion

Main approaches in health promotion are examined.

The History and Evolution of the Settings Approach

The settings approach originated within the WHO Health for All movement.
The Ottawa Charter (WHO, 1986) provides a framework for health promotion, focusing on settings.
The Settings approach emerged across Europe and globally (Healthy Cities, schools, prisons, hospitals, universities) from the late 1980s.
International health promotion conferences legitimized the approach further.
The Jakarta Declaration (WHO, 1997) emphasized comprehensive approaches and particular settings for health improvement.

The Settings Approach: Conceptual Development

Understanding health's influences (social, economic, environmental, organizational, and cultural circumstances).
The settings approach can improve effectiveness by emphasizing settings as channels for interventions and contexts for influencing well-being.
Identify five types of practice: passive, active, vehicle, organic, and comprehensive models.

Typologies of Healthy Settings Practice

Principles and Perspectives of settings-based approach

Focus on populations, policy, and environments.
Equity and social justice are emphasized.

Healthy Settings

"Health is created and lived by people within the everyday settings where they live; work; learn; play and love" – Ottawa Charter, 1986
