There are several different webpages hosting copies of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, and they're all a bit weird when it comes to working out the date.

After speaking to one of the nursing lecturers, we decided that the best thing to do is to tell you to use this particular online version of the charter, and (for APA 7) to reference it like this:

 

World Health Organization. (1986). Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion: First International Conference on Health Promotion Ottawa, 21 November 1986. https://www.healthpromotion.org.au/images/ottawa_charter_hp.pdf

 

If you're wondering about the use of capitals in the title, it's because the title is actually full of names. You capitalise the names of acts and charters, and you capitalise the names of conferences and symposiums.

  1. The World Health Organization is a registered organisation, so the word organisation in its title needs to be spelt with a "z" not an "s". World Health Organization is the correct spellling.

  2. You're absolutely correct – names do need to retain their official spelling. We obviously typed out the name on autopilot and didn't notice we'd slipped into Australian spelling by mistake. This has been fixed now.
