Community-based participatory approaches:Planning Health Education and Promotion Programs
- Health education specialists engage in planning, implementation, and evaluation of programs.
- Chapter focuses on defining goals and objectives, strategies, and materials for effective program delivery.
Engaging Priority Populations
- Lay Health Advisor Models: Trained individuals promoting health within similar backgrounds.
- Community Coalitions: Collaborative groups from various sectors working towards health education.
- Community Advisory Boards: Local stakeholders providing guidance on program planning and evaluation.

Identifying Community Priorities

Identifying stakeholders is crucial for program planning and evaluation.
Stakeholders share common goals, values, or identities related to the health issue at hand.
Community-based organizations address human, educational, and public safety needs.
Engage stakeholders to determine community priorities and conduct needs assessments through surveys, interviews, and focus groups.

CBPR involves community members in research processes to address health problems collaboratively.
Researchers act as facilitators, encouraging community input in all phases.

Establishing Goals and Objectives

Goals are broad expectations for long-term outcomes; objectives are specific and measurable results.
Determine targeted health interventions based on potential causes of health problems and populations.
Levels of prevention:
- Primary Prevention: Focus on preventing illness (e.g., health behavior changes).
- Secondary Prevention: Early detection and intervention (e.g., screenings).
- Tertiary Prevention: Management and rehabilitation to slow disease progression.
