Abstract:
The Preventive Health Care Act stipulates the production of a national prevention report with the option of contributions by the federal states. Bavaria is currently establishing a system of prevention reporting. This effort aims to provide information on health related aspects relevant to prevention and health promotion and, through intervention reporting, deliver also a picture of current prevention measures. An online survey took stock of the measures of primary prevention and health promotion. This provided an overview of the Bavarian prevention landscape with respect to activities as well as aspects related to the structure and quality and allowed to derive recommendations for further development. Moreover, this article highlights the limitations of such a survey.
