In 2011, the National Prevention, Health Promotion, and Public Health Council named mental and emotional well-being as 1 of 7 priority areas for the National Prevention Strategy. In this article, we discuss emotional well-being as a scientific concept and its relevance to public health. We review evidence that supports the association between emotional well-being and health. We propose a national emotional well-being initiative and describe its 6 components: systematic measurement of emotional well-being, identification of the drivers of emotional well-being, formation of partnerships with diverse stakeholders, implementation and dissemination of evidence-based interventions to promote emotional well-being and its drivers, development of public health messaging, and identification of and strategies to address disparities in emotional well-being and its drivers. Finally, we discuss ways in which a national emotional well-being initiative would complement current public health efforts and the potential challenges to such an initiative.
2011 年，国家预防、健康促进和公共卫生理事会将精神和情绪健康列为国家预防战略的 7 个优先领域之一。在本文中，我们将讨论情绪健康作为一个科学概念及其与公共卫生的相关性。我们回顾了支持情绪健康与健康之间关联的证据。我们提出了一项国家情绪健康倡议，并描述了其 6 个组成部分：系统测量情绪健康、确定情绪健康的驱动因素、与不同利益相关者建立伙伴关系、实施和传播促进情绪健康及其驱动因素的循证干预措施、制定公共卫生信息传递、以及确定和制定解决情绪健康及其驱动因素差异的策略。最后，我们讨论了国家情绪健康倡议将如何补充当前的公共卫生工作，以及该倡议可能面临的挑战。
