[Establishing Prevention Reporting in Bavaria - Concept, Implementation and First Results].
Bavaria is currently embarking on the endeavour of building up systematic prevention reporting. Prevention reporting is meant to support the implementation of the Bavarian Prevention Plan and the German Prevention Law and to further the ongoing development in the field of health promotion and health-related prevention in Bavaria. ⋯ Like health reporting, prevention reporting, as conceptualised in Bavaria, presents overview data and thus allows a monitoring of prevention. For specific planning or evaluation purposes, it needs to be supplemented by more in-depth analyses. Current challenges include the development of valid, prevention-specific indicators, the generation of an empiric database and the attempt of a coordinated approach amongst the federal states within Germany.
