To review how health promotion policy can be based on research data.
The Department of Health Promotion, Ministry of Health, Israel, in collaboration with Midgam Research and Consultation Company and the Israel Center for Disease Control have conducted ongoing research on health knowledge, attitudes, and practice in Israel as a basis for health policy.
Based on data from 1995 to 2000: 1. There is a positive trend in healthy dietary habits. 2. There is no decrease in smoking rates. 3. There is an increase in drinking rates of wine. 4. There is an increase in aerobic exercise. More Israelis declare they eat healthy foods, but currently this is only for 50% of the population. There is a need for health promotion efforts to further increase positive dietary habits. There is an immediate need for extensive health promotion efforts to decrease smoking rates in Israel. Also, there is a need for health promotion campaigns to decrease drinking in Israel. Although more people are participating in aerobic physical exercise, there is a need to further increase this number.
Data on health knowledge, attitudes, and practice is an important source for health promotion policy. By trends seen in a national survey of health knowledge, attitudes, and practice conducted every two years, additional health promotion policy can be shaped.
回顾健康促进政策如何基于研究数据制定。
以色列卫生部健康促进司与米德加姆研究咨询公司及以色列疾病控制中心合作，持续开展关于以色列健康知识、态度和行为的研究，以此作为健康政策的基础。
基于1995年至2000年的数据：1. 健康饮食习惯呈积极趋势。2. 吸烟率没有下降。3. 葡萄酒饮用率上升。4. 有氧运动有所增加。更多以色列人宣称他们食用健康食品，但目前仅占人口的50%。需要开展健康促进工作以进一步提高积极的饮食习惯。迫切需要广泛开展健康促进工作以降低以色列的吸烟率。此外，需要开展健康促进运动以减少以色列的饮酒量。尽管更多人参与有氧运动，但仍需进一步增加这一人数。
健康知识、态度和行为的数据是健康促进政策的重要来源。通过每两年进行一次的全国健康知识、态度和行为调查中观察到的趋势，可以制定更多的健康促进政策。
