The published health promotion knowledge base is biased in favor of information produced in just a few English-speaking countries. This is an impediment to health promotion's global development, which would be fostered by better access to information from the broadest possible range of sources. Responding, the International Union for Health Promotion and Education has expanded the scope of its flagship journal, Promotion and Education, publishing material in French and Spanish, in addition to English, and intending to broaden its scope even more. The International Union for Health Promotion and Education has also established an equity project in the health promotion publishing arena, together with other health promotion journals, to assist would-be authors for whom language is a barrier. A third International Union for Health Promotion and Education initiative is the Global Essential Readings in Health Promotion book project, whose editorial team includes experts from every continent, to ensure that the book includes material from every quarter of the globe.
已发表的健康促进知识库偏向于仅几个英语国家所产生的信息。这阻碍了健康促进的全球发展，而获取尽可能广泛来源的信息将有助于推动其发展。作为回应，国际健康促进与教育联盟扩大了其旗舰期刊《促进与教育》的范围，除英语外，还出版法语和西班牙语材料，并打算进一步扩大范围。国际健康促进与教育联盟还与其他健康促进期刊一起，在健康促进出版领域设立了一个公平项目，以帮助那些受语言障碍影响的潜在作者。国际健康促进与教育联盟的第三项举措是健康促进全球必读书籍项目，其编辑团队包括来自各大洲的专家，以确保该书涵盖全球各地的材料。
