Effects of Local Alcohol Prevention Initiatives in Swedish Municipalities, 2006–2014
Background: Several components of the Swedish alcohol policy, e.g., pricing and availability, weakened when Sweden joined the EU in 1995.

Thus, considerable efforts were made to strengthen alcohol prevention in Swedish municipalities. Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine whether local alcohol prevent…
Cross-sectoral cooperation at the ministerial level in three Nordic countries - With a focus on health inequalities
To reduce health inequalities requires interventions that address the social determinants of health. The responsibilities, at the ministerial level, for these determinants are mainly situated outside the ministry of health. Accordingly, interventions to reduce health inequalities require coordination between the ministry of health and other ministries. Yet, a large literature in public administration has demonstrated that cross-sectoral cooperati…
The Decide evidence to recommendation framework adapted to the public health field in Sweden
Organizations worldwide compile results from scientific studies, and grade the evidence of interventions, in order to assist policy makers.

The Developing and Evaluating Communication Strategies to Support Informed Decisions and Practice Based on Evidence (DECIDE) framework aims to facilitate decision making and to improve dissemination and implementation of recomme…
Two approaches to school health promotion—a focus on health-related behaviours and general competencies. An ecological study of 25 Swedish municipalities
The school is an important potential health-promoting setting for children and adolescents. Two main perspectives on school health promotion have been identified, one addressing health-related behaviours, the other stressing the development of general competencies. From a policy perspective, it is important to establish whether these two approaches are complementary or competing. This question was analysed by examining school administrations in 2…
Implementation of a Health Impact Assessment (HIA) tool in a regional health organization in Sweden—a feasibility study

In Sweden, the Swedish Federation of County Councils and the Swedish Association of Local Authorities have taken the initiative to and are responsible for the development of an HIA tool concerning proposed policy decisions at local and regional levels. The HIA tool was developed as three diff…
What makes things happen? An analysis of the development of nine health-promoting measures aimed at children and adolescents in three Swedish municipalities
A study of safety-promoting activities for children and adolescents in 25 Swedish municipalities
The purpose of this study was to investigate two elements of the community approach to safety promotion for children and adolescents. The first concerns whether there is any correlation between safety-promoting activities in different municipal settings, and the second whether socio-economic and demographic characteristics affect the level of safety-promoting activities. A cross-sectional study was performed comprising 25 municipalities in Stockh…
