The goal of developing increasingly effective interventions to change health-related behaviours, which is an inevitable result of the use of the scientific method, conflicts with respect for the autonomy and dignity of the individual. This paper recommends a new direction for the field of health promotion based on building people's capacity to exercise autonomy, in the ethically relevant meaning of the term, and thereby promote a more comprehensive understanding of the goals of the field, a state of health that includes the irreducible ethical dimension signified by human dignity.
开发越来越有效的干预措施以改变与健康相关行为的目标，这是运用科学方法的必然结果，却与尊重个人的自主性和尊严相冲突。本文基于培养人们行使自主性的能力（从该术语在伦理相关意义上来说），为健康促进领域推荐了一个新方向，从而促进对该领域目标的更全面理解，即一种包括由人类尊严所代表的不可简化的伦理维度的健康状态。
