Health promotion and prevention in early times of the COVID-19 pandemic: insights from a Delphi study in Switzerland

This study generated new insights and confirmed pre-established knowledge regarding the orientations the field of HP&P should follow. While stressing the need to consolidate the traditional missions of the field (i.e. the fight against non-communicable diseases and the actions on social determinants of health), experts surveyed in this study also revaluated health priorities and rethought the way of developing HP&P actions in this specific context of the early pandemic of COVID-19.
