In this article, the authors focused on a qualitative, multiple-case design focusing on four

Danish community mental health organizations. Data included 27 semi-structured

interviews with managers and frontline staff. The Normalization Process Theory (NPT)

was used to characterize the extent of health promotion interventions and to identify

important factors that influence it. The authors provided not only a definition of how they

defined sustainability, but also the conceptual framework of the analysis; they defined

how the cases studied were selected and addressed ethical considerations that needed to

be made (if any).

This case study provides what it sets out to do: a definition of sustainability, and

research which reveals factors of sustainability in intervention for physical health

promotion in community health services. The four case study findings were well

presented in an online table, facilitating the readers’ understanding of the results. This

research is useful not only for those promoting health services in a community, but also

for those seeking to provide community mental health care services.
