We are delighted to announce the upcoming topical collection of our scientific journal, titled "Health Promotion: from Qualitative to Quantitative Approaches to Social and Health Issues" This collection will delve into the significant potential of Health Promotion strategies, employing both qualitative and quantitative approaches to address social and health-related challenges. We invite academics, researchers, and professionals to contribute original research articles, systematic reviews, and case studies that explore the intricate relationship between various interventions and overall health outcomes.

The topical collection will focus on a wide range of compelling topics, including but not limited to:

• Health Promotion and Physical Activity: Exploring the role of physical activity in preventing and managing health conditions and its impact on quality of life.

• Health Promotion and Nutrition: Investigating the influence of nutritional strategies on health promotion, including diet-based interventions and public health nutrition policies.

• Multi-professional Approach to Health Promotion: Investigating collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines to improve the effectiveness of health promotion interventions and strategies.

• The Role of Physical Exercise in biopsychological Aspects: Understanding how physical exercise contributes to mental health, quality of life and well-being, including its effects on stress, anxiety, and depression.

• Technology and Health Promotion Interventions: Evaluating digital tools and technologies in promoting health, such as mobile health apps, telehealth services, social media uses, and online health education platforms.

• Multiprofessional and interdisciplinary interventions focusing on significant socioeconomic and social aspects across different life stages.

We aim to comprehensively understand the diverse methods through which Health Promotion can address social and health issues. This topical collection will be an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals, academics, and policymakers dedicated to improving public health outcomes through innovative strategies and interventions.

We eagerly anticipate your valuable contributions and insights that will enrich this collection.

We seek contributions that explore how innovative methods and AI-driven strategies can enhance health outcomes through advancements in health education, health pedagogy, and patient-centered approaches. We are particularly interested in how these innovations can inform the training of healthcare professionals, support patient engagement, and improve teaching and learning in health-related contexts.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Pedagogical Innovations in Health Education: Studies on new teaching methodologies in the training of healthcare providers or in educating patients, particularly those that integrate social science perspectives to improve learning and behavioral outcomes.

• Novel Health Interventions: Research on emerging health interventions—such as respiratory muscle training—and their implications from both social and clinical perspectives.

• Artificial Intelligence in Health Education and Practice: Analyses of AI applications in areas such as medical training, telemedicine, and patient education, including ethical considerations and impacts on health equity and disparities.

We invite researchers and practitioners to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that engage with these themes. Submissions should offer both theoretical insights and empirical evidence on how innovation, health interventions, and AI are shaping health education and practice—whether in professional training, patient empowerment, or care delivery.
