“…In the VoM preparatory phase (October–December 2015), an explorative study was performed to ascertain the health situation in the city district and to decide on the programme’s goals and methods. One important finding was the presence of a strong and lively social infrastructure of public, welfare, social support, sports and care organizations, community centres and (informal) networks in which both professionals and inhabitants collaborate ( de Jong and Roos, 2016 ).…”

Summary In health promotion programmes (HPP), it is crucial to have intersectoral collaboration within coalitions and to build networks between health and other societal sectors. A health broker role is recognized as being helpful in connecting the coalition with the broader network, and participatory action research (PAR) is deemed supportive because it facilitates evaluation, reflection, learning and action. However, there is a lack of insight into how processes that affect collaboration develop over time. Therefore, this study aimed to provide insights into the coalition’s processes that facilitate building and maintaining intersectoral collaboration within a HPP coalition and network and how these processes contribute to the coalition’s ambitions. As part of PAR, the coalition members used the coordinated action checklist (CAC) and composed network analysis (CNA) in 2018 and 2019. The CAC and CNA results were linked back into the coalition in five group sessions and used for reflection on pro-gress and future planning. Coalition governance, interaction with the context, network building and brokerage, and generating visibility emerged as the most prominent processes. Important insights concerned the health broker’s role and positioning, the programme coordinator’s leadership and the importance of visibility and trust leading to investment in continuation. The combined research instruments and group sessions supported discussion and reflection, sharing visions and adjusting working strategies, thereby strengthening the coalition’s capacity. Thus, PAR was useful for evaluating and simultaneously facilitating the processes that affect collaboration.

“…In this group, the personal health status is associated with, among others, socio-economic status (e.g., level of education, income and unemployment), as well as the livability of a neighborhood (e.g., housing quality and reliable social ties). To solve their problems, these citizens need another approach that goes beyond a single medical practice (De Jong 2022;Pavolini and Spina 2015). This is, a 'passive medical' treatment will not suffice to solve the complex problems.…”

“…Among the proposed solutions is the idea of engaging service users as partners in their own treatment (De Jong 2022;Dent and Pahor 2015). Another solution is to encourage other community members, such as neighbors or family members, who should be encouraged to take responsibility for the co-planning and co-delivery of healthcare services.…”

This explorative study aims to contribute to the debate about citizen involvement in (complex) medical and social issues. Our research goals are: (1) to explore the main opportunities, threats and challenges to co-producing healthcare in vulnerable communities from the perspective of professionals, co-producers (i.e., citizens with a volunteering role) and service users (i.e., patients); (2) to distil lessons for public managers concerning the main issues involved in designing co-production initiatives. We studied co-production initiatives in the Dutch city, The Hague. These initiatives were part of a broader, unique movement named ‘Healthy and Happy The Hague’, which aims to change the way healthcare/social services are provided. Two intertwined research projects combine insights from interviews, focus group meetings and observations. The first project analyzed a variety of existing co-production initiatives in several neighborhoods; the second project involved longitudinal participatory action research on what stakeholders require to engage in co-production. The two research projects showed similarities and differences in the observed opportunities/treats/challenges. The study found that empowering citizens in their role as co-producers requires major changes in the professionals’ outlook and supporting role in the communities. It illustrates the potential of synergizing insights from healthcare governance and public administration co-production literature to benefit co-production practice.

“…The findings from the project-specific evaluations are the primary source of such evidence. Many of the findings from the project evaluations were published in scientific journals and reports (see e.g (Berends & van Heijst, 2019;de Jong, Houwer, Koelen, & Wagemakers;Shagiwala, Schop-Etmana, Erdemb, van den Boogaardb, & Denktaşa;Slagboom, Crone, & Reis, 2022;Verjans-Janssen et al, 2020)…”
