【 摘 要 】

The Section Public Health Education and Promotion aims to advance the scientific basis of knowledge and action for current and future health education and promotion researchers and professionals, including those working with lay audiences. The section seeks to foster research on a broad range of health education, health promotion and disease prevention approaches operating at individual, organizational, community and society level. The Ottawa Charter (1) has provided a basis for addressing public health challenges in fundamentally new ways with building public policy, creating supportive environments for health, strengthening community action, developing personal skills and reorienting health services. However since the Charter has been launched many social and economic changes have occurred and globalization as well as digitization have had strong impacts on systems, governance structures, economies and therewith on the daily lives of people. Therefore, the conference on health promotion in 2016 has released the Shanghai Declaration on promoting health in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2), which suggests that health promotion methods and strategies play a key role to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (3) and the Declaration puts Healthy Cities, improved governance for health and health literacy in the focus of actions. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us that health is multi-faceted and that there are multiple and interacting impacts of the pandemic in the settings of our everyday lives (4). Therefore, the Section Public Health Education and Promotion aims to foster innovative research, education and practice that can help individuals to better deal with the challenges of rapidly changing environments and make better personal health choices, health education and promotion professionals more effectively engage in evidencebased practices, and societies enhance programmatic efforts and policy initiatives to protect and promote population health. In order to support the goals of the Ottawa Charter and the Shanghai Declaration, the following eight topics and themes should be addressed in future research to create better evidence for tackling the present and future public health challenges effectively.
