[Community-Based Health Management: Evaluation of the training of Health Representatives in the "Health Region plus" County of Cham].

Prevention has become an important issue in health care. With the funding of Health Regionsplus, Bavaria is participating in the establishment of municipal structures that support health promotion through local networking. In this context, the district of Cham has identified an important field of action: the mediation of high-quality offers to local citizens by specially trained people, namely health representatives. A training concept was developed, the evaluation of which is reported here. After a first course, the curriculum was modified gearing the content more towards project management and networking. With this modification, the feedback on the activities of the health representatives in their own view as well as from the perspective of event participants, citizens and local politicians showed a consistently positive response.
