Health promotion research: thinking critically about knowledge production.
Health Promotion International
(2016)
Abstract
In the last issue of Health Promotion International, Stephan Van den Brouke posed an important question in his editorial ‘How international is health promotion?’ (Van den Broucke, 2016). Acknowledging the importance of global voice and recognizing the contextual nature of the experience of health, he described the need for research and research methodologies that honor and elevate non-western approaches to the knowledge and knowledge creation in health promotion (citing for instance de Leeuw and Hussein, 1999; Silva, 2012). Broadening the scope of this issue, I ask ‘how critical is health promotion?’
