Zusammenfassung
In der nationalen und internationalen Forschung nimmt das noch relativ junge Fach der Public Mental Health einen immer wichtigeren Stellenwert ein. Allerdings bleibt eine zentrale Herausforderung, dieses Fach in seiner Interdisziplinarität abzubilden und den Diskurs im Spannungsfeld von Public Health, psychiatrischer Epidemiologie, psychischer Gesundheitsförderung, Prävention und Versorgungsforschung zu führen, um sein innovatives Potenzial vollständig auszuschöpfen. In diesem Spannungsfeld stellen sich eine Reihe von grundsätzlichen konzeptionellen und methodischen Fragen, die in diesem Essay unter Bezugnahme auf die Populationsstrategie von Geoffrey Rose exemplarisch auch hinsichtlich fundamentaler Ursachen von sozialen und gesundheitlichen Ungleichheiten erörtert und adressiert werden sollen, mit dem letztendlichen Ziel, die Grundlage zur Erfassung und Veränderung von psychischer Gesundheit auf Populationsebene zu verbessern.
Abstract
In recent years, the field of public mental health has received increasing attention in national and international research. However, a key challenge remains to map this field in its interdisciplinarity across the entire spectrum of mental health and lead the discourse between public health, psychiatric epidemiology, mental health promotion, prevention, and health services research in order to realize more fully its innovative potential for improving mental health at the population level. In this interdisciplinary discourse, a number of fundamental conceptual and methodological issues arise, which will be discussed in this essay in relation to Geoffrey Roseʼs population strategy. In a national initiative across relevant learned societies that has recently been formed, these issues are currently starting to be addressed, also in relation to fundamental causes of social and health inequalities, which ultimately is geared towards more tangible strategies for improving mental health at the population.
