This assignment will assess the students’ knowledge and understanding of pertinent issues in health promotion. Students are expected to investigate a range of influences on health and also reasons for the varied success of health promotion campaigns and strategies at a regional and national level. Students are expected to examine theories of health behaviour linked with government strategies to improve the health of individuals in society. Finally, students are expected to develop a plan for a health promotion campaign for a specific group in society.

There are several distinct elements to it. The first involves undertaking research into Health Inequalities and factors that contribute to these as well as theories that explain such Inequalities. The second involves reviewing different models of Health Promotion and how successful they have been. The third element involves you planning a Presentation – either Powerpoint or Poster covering a Health Promotion subject that you are interested in, aimed at a specific age/cultural/regional/ethnic/gender group.
