This paper reports the results of an analysis of the dissemination of community-based heart health promotion strategies. The research draws on diffusion and socio-ecological theories to study the first 10 years of heart health promotion in the public health system in Ontario, Canada. Using case description and interpretive analysis, the study describes developments in five stages of dissemination, and examines the interplay of factors operating in the internal organizational setting and the external environment in order to explain these developments. Findings demonstrate that dissemination of health promotion is a long-term, iterative process involving multiple stages. Dissemination is influenced by a complex interplay of factors operating within the public health system (especially traditional public health practice and champions) and factors in the environment in which the public health system operates (especially research, practice information and health policies). Implications are that policy makers should take a long-term view of dissemination, identify intermediate and long-term goals consistent with dissemination stages, and capitalize on internal and external forces supporting dissemination goals. Similar case-study research in other public health systems and time periods, and in more advanced stages of dissemination, will add further insight into the dissemination process.
