Abstract

Addressing emerging public health emergencies within the military-connected community requires a culturally informed, value-driven, and collaborative approach to service development and implementation. Drawing on insights from several studies, this chapter explores the synergy between public health theory and co-production methodology. We introduce a method of systematically layering Beattie's model of health promotion with a stepped iteration of the co-production process, creating a nuanced understanding of the experiences within this community. Key considerations for bridging the gap between rhetoric and reality are examined through a value-based approach, emphasising trust and rapport building, a commitment to impact, and a drive for meaningful change.
