Planning a Health Education Program & Lesson Plan
- Careful planning is essential for successful health education activities.

Definition of Planning
- Planning is the process of making thoughtful and systematic decisions about what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, by whom, and with what resources.
Key Questions in Planning
- What will be done?
- When will it be done?
- Where will it be done?

Purpose of Planning in Health Education Programs

Principles of Planning in Health Education Programs
- Plans should consider the needs and context of the community.
- Basic needs and interests of the community should be considered.
- Plan with community involvement in the implementation of an activity.
- The plan should be flexible, not rigid. Modifications can be made as needed.
- The planned activity should be achievable, considering financial, personnel, and time constraints of available resources. Avoid unachievable activities.
Steps in Planning Health Education Programs
- Needs assessment (first and most important step) includes identifying and understanding health problems and their causes in the community.
- Three Types of Needs Assessment:
- Health Needs Assessment: Identify prevalent health problems in the community (malaria, TB, HIV/AIDS, diarrhea, etc).
- Resource Needs Assessment: Identify needed resources to address identified health problems and examine if any resource/material shortage prevents healthy practice.
- Community Needs Assessment: Include information about the number of people per household, their age, and economic characteristics and local community groups; assessing their impact.
- Assessment Techniques:
- Observation: Watching and recording events as they happen; understanding community cultures, norms, and values in their social context (including hidden behaviors).
- In-depth Interviews: Exploring individual beliefs, practices, experiences, and attitudes in detail (direct personal interviews).
- Key Informants: Interviewing community leaders, cultural leaders, religious leaders, or people with lots of experience in the community to learn more about the community.
- Focus Group Discussions: Group discussions (6-12 people) with a facilitator to discuss health problems in detail.
Lesson Plan
