Abstract: Intersectoral cooperation is regarded as a promising strategy in setting-oriented prevention and health promotion for interdepartmental, joint efforts towards improved health equity. This paper deals with models of intersectoral cooperation in municipal health promotion. It frames the methodology and the central results of a literature and database search (on behalf of the Federal Centre for Health Education, BZgA) and presents the partial results regarding the models of intersectoral cooperation. Of 48 publications analyzed for the review, nine publications each present different models of intersectoral cooperation. The models describe typical processes in the context of the joint work as detailed step sequences and formulate general recommendations as success factors of intersectoral cooperation. With reference to the findings of the review, it can be concluded that models for intersectoral cooperation have not yet been systematized and consequently have not been researched for transferability into specific fields of practice.
