There is little evidence that systematic mental health promotion (MHP) policies exist in the countries of the European Union (EU). In order to explore this, a sample of public health stakeholders in ten European regions was selected. Each region was asked to complete a postal questionnaire about structural indicators of those environmental factors that might have an impact on mental health; stakeholders were also provided with information on MHP concepts and strategies. Subsequently the regions were visited, and stakeholders were interviewed on their MHP policies using an open-ended questionnaire. It was found that there were no existing procedures or plans that could support the hope that systematic MHP policies would be developed in the next years in the EU. Only three of the ten regions had started to develop such policies. An 8-item questionnaire on the framework and process of MHP policy development was developed and used in the present study. This questionnaire may be a useful instrument in future studies on structural indicators of mental health.
在欧盟国家中，几乎没有证据表明存在系统的心理健康促进（MHP）政策。为了探讨这一点，选择了十个欧洲地区的公共卫生利益相关者作为样本。每个地区都被要求填写一份关于可能对心理健康产生影响的环境因素的结构指标的邮政问卷；还向利益相关者提供了关于 MHP 概念和策略的信息。随后对这些地区进行了访问，并使用开放式问卷就他们的 MHP 政策对利益相关者进行了访谈。结果发现，目前没有任何程序或计划可以支持欧盟在未来几年制定系统的 MHP 政策的希望。在这十个地区中，只有三个地区开始制定此类政策。本研究开发了一个关于 MHP 政策制定框架和过程的 8 项问卷，并在本研究中使用。该问卷可能是未来心理健康结构指标研究中的有用工具。
