Recent work carried out by WHO has recognised that an assets based approach to health promotion is crucial to support the promotion of population health and to reduce health inequalities. The assets approach was applied in a project aimed at promoting physical activity among women in difficult life situations. Within the participatory and collaborative work of the project, a specific set of assets for health that might initiate social participation and collaboration in health promotion action emerged. These assets are referred to as social catalysts for health promotion implementation. The article describes empowered individuals, informal social networks, mediating social institutions and organisational structures as potential social catalysts for health promotion implementation, and outlines some directions for further research on this topic.
世界卫生组织最近开展的工作认识到，基于资产的健康促进方法对于支持促进人群健康和减少健康不平等至关重要。资产方法被应用于一个旨在促进生活困难妇女身体活动的项目。在该项目的参与性和协作性工作中，出现了一组特定的健康资产，这些资产可能会引发健康促进行动中的社会参与和协作。这些资产被称为促进健康促进实施的社会催化剂。本文将赋权个人、非正式社会网络、中介社会机构和组织结构描述为促进健康促进实施的潜在社会催化剂，并概述了关于该主题的一些进一步研究方向。
