This report is about implementation, it presents and discusses scientific surveys of how new methods can be disseminated and implemented.
When new health-promoting methods have been presented, it often takes a long time for them to come into daily use. This delay means that possible health gains are not achieved as quickly as we would like. Our hope is that this report will act as a support for public health planners, prevention coordinators and others with similar working tasks , i.e. for people who occasionally face the challenge of implementing new methods to promote public health.

There is a comprehensive checklist at the end of this report with some research-based reminders to support the implementation of health-promoting and disease-preventing interventions. Readers are free to copy and use this checklist.

The report was written by Karin Guldbrandsson at the Swedish National Institute of Public Health.
