Factors that Promote Program Sustainability: A Deep Dive

Health promotion programs can play an important role in increasing the health of Ontarians and their communities. However, not all health promotion programs are sustained beyond their initial funding period. A recently published systematic review identified factors that promote program sustainability. A June 2021 webinar explored definitions of sustainability and related concepts and introduced the 14 factors that promote sustainability. The second part of this webinar will dive deeply into the 14 factors and discuss how they may be applied in practice. 

Intended audience: 

Those who attended the June 2021 webinar (or watched the recording) “Planning Sustainable Health Promotion Programs”.

Health promoters and public health professionals who plan programs

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Understand each of the 14 factors that promote program sustainability and their concepts
2. Identify the factors that have influenced the sustainability of health promotion programs that participants have been involved with
3. Select additional factors that can be implemented into program planning/sustainability planning processes
