Description

(1) The document is sometimes presented as health promotion's founding document (2,3) but also as only the "tip of a much more complicated set of ideas and values". (4) Independently of the role assigned to the Ottawa Charter, public health has integrated health promotion extensively in the past few decades. In the Western hemisphere, where its development has been concentrated, health promotion has been identified as the third revolution (5) and as a necessary critical discourse (6) for public health. Recently, the health promotion discourse has gone global.

It examines achievements in the field of health promotion over the past 25 years and attempts to identify some of the challenges that lie ahead. The Ottawa Charter: A public health innovation
