Background: In this study, the basic criteria, models, and indicators of intersectoral collaboration in health promotion were investigated to facilitate the implementation of collaboration. Methods: This scoping review was conducted using datasets of Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed, and search engines of Google, Google Scholar, and ProQuest. Results: 52 studies were included, and 32 codes in Micro, Meso, and Macro level, were obtained. Micro-level criteria had the highest frequency. Among the models used in the reviewed studies, social network analysis, Diagnosis of Sustainable Collaboration, Bergen, and logic models had the highest frequency. Among the indicators studied, the number of participants and the level of collaboration as well as its sustainability were the most frequent indicators. Conclusion: The findings identified the most important and widely used criteria, models, and indicators of intersectoral collaboration in health promotion which can be useful for decision-makers and planners in the domain of health promotion, in designing, implementing, and evaluating collaborative programs.

Intersectoral collaboration amongst health and other sectors, as well as between government and non-governmental organisations, has been highlighted as a way to improve health equity. We used a mixed-methods approach to assess collaborative relationships between multiple government sectors and civil society and to suggest possible health promotion interventions and policy alternatives for the urban poor in deprived neighborhoods. A total of 18 participants involved in health promotion interventions and policy processes related to the inner-city area of Seoul were recruited using purposive sampling methods. Participants included stakeholders working for or engaging in governments (3), public health care institutions (5), social service providers (3), community-based organisations (CBOs) (4) and faith-based organisations (3). We conducted semi-structured, one-on-one interviews and then collected survey data. Quantitative data were analysed using social network analysis, and qualitative data were analysed through iterative and consensus processes. The social network analysis indicated that a CBO plays the most substantial role in sharing and controlling informational resources to promote health. A stakeholder analysis showed that the CBO neutrally and negatively viewed the possibility of collaboration with other stakeholders. Three themes related to challenges to intersectoral collaboration emerged: (1) lack of trust and communication, (2) need of a coalition with a committed leading actor for future collaboration and (3) organisational and political silos within and across public sectors. Increased understanding of the current status of and challenges to collaboration can inform the planning and implementation of complex intervening strategies and policies tailored to vulnerable people in deprived neighborhoods. Community-led collaborative actions empower people in marginalised communities to envision a healthier community.

Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie wyników badań , które skoncentrowane były na identyfikacja powiązań personalnych poprzez tzw. interlocking dyrektorski pomiędzy firmami uczestniczącymi w procesach przejęć w latach 2008-2014. Badaniami zrealizowanymi przy wykorzystaniu metody analizy sieci społecznych SNA (Social Network Analysis) objęto 525 spółek notowanych na GPW w Warszawie oraz NewConnect, które uczestniczyły w procesach akwizycji. W badaniach ważne było określenie poziomu usieciowienia poprzez interlocking dyrektorski pomiędzy firmami uczestniczącymi w omawianych transakcjach. Przyjmuje się, że jedną z podstawowych funkcji interlockingu jest redukcja niepewności i ograniczanie ryzyka poprzez dostęp do informacji dzięki połączeniu z radami innych firm. Przeprowadzone analizy wykazały, że poziom usieciowienia pomiędzy wszystkimi badanymi spółkami i osobami (członkami zarządów i rad nadzorczych) uczestniczącymi w transakcjach akwizycji w Polsce jest niski. Zidentyfikowane relacje miały charakter długotrwały i były widoczne zarówno przed transakcją, jak i po jej przeprowadzeniu.
