Overview
The aims of this course are to introduce health promotion and to build students' skills in critically reflecting on work in the field. The theoretical foundations, core principals and diverse practice of health promotion will be introduced in this paper. Historical factors and underlying values, key concepts and models, health promotion actions, and evaluation techniques will be reviewed and analysed. The course will focus on health promotion at global, national, regional and community levels. Practical work will focus on needs analysis and programme development, implementation, and evaluation. By the end of the course students will be expected to understand:
- current health promotion theories, planning models and implementation strategies directed toward policy, social, environmental, organisational and behavioural and/or attitudinal change.
- issues and methods in the development and evaluation of health promotion programmes.
- the historical basis of health promotion, current directions in health promotion and its future prospects in New Zealand and globally.
- the relevance of the Treaty of Waitangi to health promotion.
- the values which underlie past and present public health movements, and ethical issues which arise in implementation of health promotion programmes.
