Master's thesis in Public health science (ME516) Background: The recommended procedure for achieving health promotion in Norwegian municipalities is a "Healt-in-All-Policies" approach.

Collaborative processes with several stakeholders in different sectors depend on a unifying key person to achieve acceptable cross-sectoral involvement, understanding and continuity. This is according to the "boundary spanner" theory and Kingdon's theory …

Master's thesis in Public health science (ME516) Background: In 2012, the Public Health Act was introduced, with one of the foremost objectives of equalizing social inequalities in health. For this work to be efficient, it must be systematic. The systematic public health work starts with a thorough preparation of municipal challenges in the so-called "overview document". Through previous parliamentary reports, it is recommended that a public health coordinator should lead such a municipal public health work and at the same time establish a cross-sectoral approach to public health work. However, research has shown that this work is insufficient, which is linked to the coordinators' working a…

We know little about the relationship between parents' symptoms of anxiety and depression and the frequency of family meals. Purpose The purpose of this master thesis is …
