Objective:

Review the limitations in cross‐sectoral health outcomes research and suggest a future research agenda.


Data Sources, Study Design, Data Collection:

Literature review and workshop discussion.


Principal Findings:

The research evidence that would aid public and private policy makers in answering the question the title poses is quite limited.


Conclusions:

Much more evidence from diverse disciplines is needed, and key areas are suggested. Criteria for progress by 2010 are proposed.
