This collection of articles discusses the implementation, evaluation and research of health promotion strategies and theories. It includes a critical appraisal of the evaluation of Health in All Policies, interventions to improve cultural competency in healthcare for Indigenous peoples, and a systematic review of the evidence on Indigenous health program evaluation design and methods in Australia. The articles explore the applicability of these strategies in different contexts and their impact on health outcomes.
