Att samvärka fram en nationell organisation för hälsofrämjande systemomställning

Att skapa evidensbaserad förändring genom samverkan och påverkan

Abstract

Despite strong evidence for the societal value of prevention, Sweden remains primarily organized to manage ill health once it has already occurred. To meet future public health challenges, a systemic shift is needed in which health promotion and preventive action become integral to societal planning. In this article, we reflect on the work of “Ett Friskare Sverige,” a pilot study aimed at facilitating the emergence of a new national organization for coordinated prevention. Drawing on our experiences, we discuss what academia can contribute in translating evidence into action, and how collaboration can serve as a lever for change.
