Inter-sectoral collaboration and the World Health Organisation's Health for all initiative : a study of five projects in Eastleigh, Hampshire

Abstract

This research focuses on inter-sectoral collaboration in health promotion within the World Health Organisation's Health for All Project. In recent years the impetus to work collaboratively across agencies to promote health has been increasing and this study provides the opportunity to test a viable model for effective joint working in this area. The research explores the development and the key principles of the World Health Organisation's Health for All initiative. The principle of inter-sectoral collaboration is the key theme for the research and a Health for All initiative in a local authority area in Hampshire - Eastleigh, provides the case study. The initiative was established on a funded basis in June 1990 and represents collaboration across the two health authorities providing services for the area, the local authority, social services, education and the voluntary services. The research provides the opportunity to test levels of collaboration achieved across areas of work to emerge from the healthy Eastleigh initiative and from this to identify generalisable features for effective collaboration.

A review of the literature touching on the meanings and interpretations around the principle of joint working assists in the development of a model combining the essential features of effective collaboration.
