Abstract

The social practices analyzed in this book suggest policies for the development of social networks, useful for promoting health and equity. They reinforce and specify many indications suggested by international literature [1]. Mainly, they help to better define the role that territorial actors could play in promoting health and equity. Moreover, these experiences explain more precisely the effect of local actions on social impact and therefore they propose guidelines for designing and evaluating intervention strategies. We will focus on the brief conclusions of the book on these issues.
