practice of health promotion, and the means through which
individuals and organizations become more effective in supporting
and undertaking such practice. The concepts of capacity and
capacity-building are used to structure this exploration. Simply

continuing education and applied research initiative affiliated
with the Saskatchewan Heart Health Program. This project was
designed to study the process of capacity development through
taking action to enhance the health promotion capacity of
practitioners and regional health districts in Saskatchewan. For
health promotion practitioners, this book provides a coherent
framework for effective professional practice in the field. Leaders
in health sector organizations will acquire a greater understanding
of how to support health promotion practice and of how to recruit
and develop individual practitioners with a high level of capacity.
of the health promotion capacity of individuals and organizations.
Scholars will acquire an understanding of the nature of health
promotion capacity and a methodology for studying such capacity.
