The Current Events Held by Local Governments and Proposals for Possible Collaboration Within the Local Governments Focusing on Health Promotion for Young People

Abstract

In this research, we analyzed the implementation status of events involving local governments to explore collaboration within local governments with departments other than the department in charge of health. The analysis was conducted using multiple response analysis to find effective events and collaborators to promote the health of young people, including events that do not have health as their main purpose. The results indicated that the parties with whom the department in charge of health should seek cooperation in order to develop health promotion projects and to make contact with young people are the secretariat of the board of education and committees, federations, and councils. Furthermore, in order to provide an environment in which people who are indifferent to health can take healthy action, it was shown that it is effective to provide information tailored to the stage of behavioral change and to request cooperation from collaborators in recommending events that contribute to health promotion through participation.
