[Evaluation of a community-oriented health promotion project "Mauren Aktiv"]

In the year 1996, "Mauren Aktiv"--a community health promotion project in Liechtenstein--was evaluated. The methods used were as follows: Interviews with key-persons of the community, group-discussions, written questionnaire, telephone-interviews and analysis of documents. The evaluation showed the following results: "Mauren Aktiv" works. It has increased the offer of health promotion activities by more than 100 percent. The offer is well received by the population. The flexible organisational structure proved to be functional. But "Mauren Aktiv" only partly achieves its claim to be a co-ordinating agent for all health promotion activity within the community. Favourable factors for the project are the co-operation of numerous volunteers and the conditions offered by the municipality. On the contrary the co-operation of the volunteers and the lack of professional support cause problems, for example regarding the documentation of the activities of "Mauren Aktiv".
