From: Determinants of an integrated public health approach: the implementation process of Greenland’s second public health program

Enabling determinants

Constraining determinants

• Adopters are greatly motivated to work with health promotion.

• Many CHWs feel alone and overwhelmed with their work tasks.

• Health consultants have relevant educational knowledge and experience.

• Health consultants lack expertise for evaluating initiatives.

• As a newly employed health consultant it is challenging to acquire the necessary background knowledge of the program.

• CHWs use the knowledge resources available to them (e.g. LPC).

• CHW-managers typically focus on treatment instead of health promotion. Thereby guidance to CHWs can be confusing.

• CHWs have in general a low level of education, which rarely relate to health promotion.
