Settingbasierte Interventionen zur Verhaltensänderung zur Reduktion der Risiken von chronischen Erkrankungen und Gesundheitsförderung

The body of work presented here focuses on various types of settings-based interventions for chronic disease risk reduction and for health promotion. Specifically, results of various studies examining the development, implementation and impact of behavior change interventions in various contexts (hospitals, schools, universities, churches, communities) and at various levels (individual, environment) ranging from tertiary to primary prevention of chronic diseases are included in this habilitation. Reflecting the spectrum of preventive interventions, outcomes assessed in these studies range from changes in clinical events to changes in non-communicable disease risk factors and in individual health behaviors and the environment
