Description

<p>Purpose: To report and share the insights learned from a workshop, which was held to discuss the role of the Japanese Society of Health Education and Promotion, and the society’s members for practices, research and education under the uncertain outlook to control the COVID-19.</p><p>Activities: We held an online workshop for the society’s members on January 24, 2021. A total of 67 members participated in the workshop, which included review reports (6 topics) about the influences on health conditions and/or lifestyles under the conditions of expanding infections of the novel coronavirus, practice reports (6 cases) about health education and health promotion activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequent group discussions and sharing for all participants. The reviews revealed that the number of published reports from Japan was insufficient compared with those from China and Western countries. Moreover, we surmise that promoting further relevant surveys and researches in Japan was necessary. In discussions regarding the activities, further considerations on disparities, support for individuals including mental problems due to overflowing information, coalitions and networking across the stakeholders, systems for monitoring and assessment, and reports and publications were highlighted as the necessary issues.</p><p>Future perspective: The socioeconomic conditions and sense of values, in addition to people’s lifestyles, have dramatically changed, and the widening disparities have become one of the most critical issues. We will, therefore, tackle these problems as health promoters (practitioners), researchers and educators by utilizing the knowledge and insights gained from this workshop, and will contribute to the health education and promotion with the novel coronavirus through our activities as a society as well as individual members.</p>
