Proper health knowledge and adequate motivation for health activities are key factors that influence an individual to adopt a healthy behavior. Health promotion positively influences progressive behaviors that seek to advance health potential, to continuously improve one's lifestyle. There are many health promotion indications constantly encouraging people to eat healthier food. Based on the successful experience of a non-profit organization promoting a healthier vegetarian diet, this research identifies the operating factors that lead to the success of health promotion. The formulation and implementation of the health promotion strategy must be combined with the key success factors in order to accomplish the objectives. This study assessed seven factors, evaluated using the proposed method. The proposed Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method constructs the cause and effect model of health promotion, and places forward suggestions and strategies for improvement based on the evaluation of the results. This research compared the original DEMATEL with a Modified DEMATEL (M-DEMATEL) to identify the success factors of health promotion. According to the results of both methods, "leadership", "communication channel" and "budget" are the most important and influential factors when promoting healthy diets. The results have shown the connection and the difference between the two methods. The main purpose of this research is not to determine which method is the best method, instead, to derive the combined effect of both methods.
适当的健康知识和足够的健康活动动机是影响个人采用健康行为的关键因素。健康促进积极影响寻求提高健康潜力、不断改善生活方式的渐进行为。有许多健康促进指标不断鼓励人们食用更健康的食物。基于非营利组织推广更健康的素食饮食的成功经验，本研究确定了导致健康促进成功的运营因素。健康促进策略的制定和实施必须结合关键成功因素，以实现目标。本研究评估了七个因素，使用提出的方法进行了评估。所提出的决策试验和评估实验室 (DEMATEL) 方法构建了健康促进的因果模型，并根据结果评估提出了改进建议和策略。本研究将原始 DEMATEL 与修改后的 DEMATEL (M-DEMATEL) 进行了比较，以确定健康促进的成功因素。根据这两种方法的结果，“领导力”、“沟通渠道”和“预算”是推广健康饮食时最重要和最有影响力的因素。结果显示了两种方法之间的联系和差异。本研究的主要目的不是确定哪种方法是最佳方法，而是推导出两种方法的综合效果。
