TY - JOUR AU - Bodkin, Andrea AU - Hakimi, Shawn PY - 2020 DA - 2020/06/19 TI - Sustainable by design: a systematic review of factors for health promotion program sustainability JO - BMC Public Health SP - 964 VL - 20 IS - 1 AB - Sustaining health promotion programs (HPP) is critical to maintain their intended health benefits, community capacity, and to optimize resources and investment. However, not all programs are sustained beyond their initial implementation period. This is partly due to uncertainty regarding sustainability: lack of a clear definition; infrequent use of a sustainability framework; and lack of understanding of the factors that influence sustainability. The aim of this systematic review is to identify barriers and facilitators that promote or inhibit the sustainability of HPP, particularly those that can be considered in program planning.
