This paper argues that health promotion needs to develop an approach to evaluation and effectiveness that values qualitative methodologies. It posits the idea that qualitative research could learn from the experience of quantitative researchers and promote more useful ways of measuring effectiveness by the use of intermediate and indirect indicators. It refers to a European-wide project designed to gather information on the effectiveness of health promotion interventions. This project discovered that there was a need for an instrument that allowed qualitative intervention methodologies to be assessed in the same way as quantitative methods.
本文认为，健康促进需要开发一种重视定性方法的评估和有效性方法。它提出这样一种观点，即定性研究可以借鉴定量研究人员的经验，并通过使用中间指标和间接指标来推广更有效的衡量有效性的方法。它提到了一个旨在收集健康促进干预措施有效性信息的全欧洲项目。该项目发现，需要有一种工具，能够以与定量方法相同的方式评估定性干预方法。
