Campaigns to encourage healthy behaviour among South Australians are disjointed, ignore broader societal issues and need greater involvement from state government, a Flinders University review has found.
The research, conducted by Flinders University’s Southgate Institute for Health, Society and Equity led by Professor Fran Baum, included a review of health promotion activity being run in Adelaide’s southern suburbs during 2019.
“We found a range of services being coordinated by a number of different organisations, with local governments and non-government organisations responsible for the bulk of the activities,” says Dr Anna Roesler from Flinders University’s Caring Futures Institute and lead author of the review published in the Health Promotion Journal of Australia.
