Abstract

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.2196/12510.].

Highlights

BackgroundThe interlinkages between nature and human health (NHI) have been approached differently by health care over time and space
2 international overview reports initiated by the European Commission (Directorate General Environment) on one hand [5] and World Health Organization (WHO)/Europe on the other hand [6] are included as they illustrate the new trend in the international interest, especially in industrialized and urbanized countries, for the potential human health benefits from nature
A first screen of the selected international overview reports on interlinkages between nature and human health Primary health care (PHC) (NHI) through the search for the PHC keywords has shown that the role of PHC remains mainly underreported

Summary

Introduction

BackgroundThe interlinkages between nature and human health (NHI) have been approached differently by health care over time and space. The Dahlgren-Whitehead model portrays health as determined by a multilevel interaction running from individual to family to community to living and working social status to external forces of society, economy, culture, and environment [2] (Figure 1) This approach of human health reflects the increased attention for preventive health care complementing curative health care. International overview reports and the majority of scientific publications on interlinkages between nature and human health (NHI) do not seem to focus on the role of the health care sector. PHC is a vital backbone for linking knowledge and practice within the organization of health care This scoping review aims to focus on the potential role of PHC in relation to NHI.
