Health promotion is the process of enabling people and communities to increase control over and improve their health, combining education, behaviour change, supportive environments, and policy to prevent disease and strengthen well-being. Within reproductive and population health it spans preconception and antenatal care, sexual and reproductive education, nutrition, mental-health promotion, tobacco control, and the building of partnerships across health and social services. It draws on theories of behaviour and community engagement and targets both individual practices and the social and structural conditions that shape them. The research gathered here reflects this scope through studies of community-based mentoring and coaching for children's mental health, global opinion data for mental-health promotion, tactile communication techniques to improve compliance, preconception care, antenatal care utilisation, tobacco-control roadmaps, and intersectoral partnerships within health systems. Further work examines the health of older populations, village-level pandemic responses, and culturally informed management of overweight and obesity. Together they span education, prevention, service uptake, policy, and partnership across the life course and varied settings. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on strategies, programmes, and determinants that promote health and prevent disease within reproductive and public health.
