A nationally representative dataset of 1,549 Americans aged 18 to 94 on interest in, experience with, and barriers to cogeneration, defined as working with older and younger people for social good.

This dataset focuses on Americans' interest in, experience with, and perceived barriers to working with members of other generations to improve the world around them. It includes responses from a March 2022 survey of 1,549 people between the ages of 18 and 94 who lived in the U.S. using the NORC at the University of Chicago AmeriSpeak® Panel. To increase the representativeness of the sample, the survey was offered both online and by phone. The sample is drawn from a probability-based panel designed to be representative of the U.S. household population. Questions focused on respondents' efforts (paid or volunteer) to improve the world around them, with a particular focus on cogenerational work with people at least 25 years older and younger than themselves. Respondents answered questions about their interest in and experience with cogenerational work as well as perceived barriers to it. Respondents were also asked to identify specific issues that they would like to work on with people of different generations (e.g., mental health, education, environment), their beliefs on if and how younger and older people working together might reduce divisions in society, and their engagement with people of different generations outside of their families. The complete dataset with 189 variables (10 of which are string/text variables from open-ended responses) is available both as a Stata .do file as well as in two .csv files. Two codebooks (one simplified, one full) and a project report from NORC that details the dataset's weighting and other methodological information are also available. This point-in-time dataset can be used for univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis and may be useful to researchers, social sector leaders, and policymakers interested in multigenerational efforts to solve social problems.

Smart governance for health and well-being: the evidence

Governance for health describes the attempts of governments and other actors to steer communities, whole countries or even groups of countries in the pursuit of health as integral to well-being. This study tracks recent innovations to address the priority determinants of health and categorizes them into five strategic approaches to smart governance for health. It relates the emergence of joint action by the health and non-health sectors, public and private actors and citizens, all of which have increasing roles to play in achieving seminal changes in 21st-century societies. The chapters presented were initially commissioned as papers to provide the evidence base for a study to support the new European policy framework for health and well-being, Health 2020. Calling for a health-in-all-policies, whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach, Health 2020 uses governance as a lens through which to view all technical areas of health. This book provides access to background papers for the study Governance for health in the 21st century, published by the WHO Regional Office for Europe in 2012. Prepared by eminent experts, the chapters provide further detail on the issues raised, and culminate in a comprehensive depiction of what constitutes smart governance for health in the 21st century.

Стратегическое руководство в интересах здоровья в XXI веке

Стратегическое руководство в интересах здоровья определяется как усилия правительств или других действующих сил направлять сообщества, страны или даже группы стран в их стремлении к достижению здоровья как неотъемлемого аспекта человеческого благополучия. В данном исследовании проводится анализ недавних инноваций в сфере стратегического руководства, направленных на приоритетные детерминанты здоровья, и их систематизация с выделением пяти стратегических подходов к обеспечению “умного” стратегического руководства в интересах здоровья. В его основе совместные действия сектора здравоохранения и других секторов, государственных и частных структур и самих граждан. Всем им принадлежит все более важная роль в достижении позитивных общественных сдвигов в XXI веке. Исследование было проведено в целях создания базы фактических данных для разработки новой Европейской политики здравоохранения Здоровье-2020. Выдвигая на первый план принцип учета интересов здоровья во всех стратегиях, общегосударственный подход и участие всего общества, Здоровье-2020 использует стратегическое руководство в качестве “призмы”, через которую следует рассматривать все технические области здравоохранения.

Governance for health in the 21st century

A range of collaborative governance mechanisms has developed in many policy arenas in the past decade.The study on governance for health in the 21st century tracks governance innovations that have been introduced to address priority determinants of health and summarizes them as five strategic approaches to smart governance for health. The study relates the emergence of joint action of the health sector and non-health sectors, of public and private actors and of citizens to achieve seminal changes in 21st-century societies. They include a new understanding of health and well-being as key features of what constitutes a successful society and vibrant economy and the higher value placed on equity and participation. The study further describes the type of structures and mechanisms that enable collaboration and outlines the new role that health ministers and ministries and public health agencies need to adopt in such a challenging policy environment. This publication was tabled as a background document for the discussion on Health 2020: a European policy framework supporting action across government and society for health and well-being during the Sixty-second session of the Regional Committee for Europe, Malta, 10–13 September 2012.
