Legitimising Inter-Sectoral Public Health Policies: A Challenge for Professional Identities?

Abstract: The 2012 Norwegian Public Health Act stipulates that all Norwegian municipalities need to integrate public health concerns in their decision-making processes at all policy levels. Based on a Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach, population health and health equity are seen as whole-of-government responsibilities, making all municipal actors across sectors and professional boundaries responsible for health issues. Although many municipalities are well on their way towards implementing this goal, several exper… Show more

“…The evaluation of such outputs gives valuable information about sub-goals, forming the basis for evaluating outcomes [28].
