Review[Prevention reporting-a new impetus for health reporting?]
In 2015 the "Act to Strengthen Health Promotion and Prevention" (German Prevention Act) was passed. This act stipulates reporting on its implementation and impact by means of a regular prevention report by the National Prevention Conference. It also furthers prevention reporting at the regional level in the federal states. ⋯ Further tasks are the development of feasible approaches to survey and report prevention interventions as well as the attempt to report outcomes and effects within causal models instead of merely reporting inputs and outputs. In conclusion, the dynamic induced by the German Prevention Act serves as a stimulus to health reporting-with a view to its contents, methods and policy relevance. Research to accompany and support the development of prevention reporting would be highly desirable.
