We review recent publications on the concepts of health promotion and prevention. These concepts are based on various paradigms which are defined here. A brief history of the evolution in the meaning of health is presented. Attention is turned to the research implications of the new trend of public health programs which focus on health promotion. In Canada, Achieving Health for All: a framework for health promotion is under examination in order to establish objectives and strategies for the development of health promotion programs. However, a well-articulated research strategy is urgently needed to enhance health promotion activities in this country. Disease prevention and health promotion could continue as distinct entities only if clear operational criteria, characteristics and definitions exist for each of them.
我们回顾了近期关于健康促进与预防概念的出版物。这些概念基于此处所定义的各种范式。文中呈现了健康含义演变的简要历史。注意力转向了以健康促进为重点的公共卫生项目新趋势的研究意义。在加拿大，《全民健康：健康促进框架》正在接受审查，以便为健康促进项目的发展确立目标和战略。然而，该国迫切需要一个明确阐述的研究战略来加强健康促进活动。只有当疾病预防和健康促进各自都有明确的操作标准、特征和定义时，它们才能继续作为不同的实体存在。
