Study Notes
Health Promotion Development
- Health promotion focuses on maintaining or improving the health of large populations.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) uses political and sociological approaches to improve global health.
- Canada's Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) offers health promotion programs like "Stairway to Health" to encourage healthy choices.
- Marc Lalonde's paper highlighted lifestyle as a key factor in health and well-being.
- Effective health promotion involves a social movement, not just government directives.
- Health promotion emphasizes individual and community responsibility rather than solely relying on medical professionals.
- Early health promotion in Canada focused on sanitation and hospital operations.
- The focus then shifted towards educating the public on healthy lifestyles.
- A key development was Lalonde's report (1974) which highlighted healthy lifestyle as a target.
- The Epp framework (1986) provides a framework for health promotion in Canada which emphasizes individual responsibility and mutual support.
Canada's Framework for Health Promotion
- The framework aims to achieve health for all Canadians through addressing health challenges.
- Health challenges include reducing inequities, increasing prevention, and enhancing coping.
- Mechanisms to address these challenges include self-care, mutual aid, and healthy environments.
- Implementation strategies include fostering participation, strengthening community services, and coordinating healthy public policy.
Levels of Successful Health Promotion
- Labonte (1987) identified three levels: medical (disease management), public health (behavior-based prevention), and socioenvironmental (social change for public health policies)
Health Challenges in Canada
- Health inequities exist in Canada based on several factors (ethnicity, geography, culture, age, income, education).
- Poorer health is often associated with lower income status or Aboriginal status.
- Age-related health concerns (e.g., smoking prevalence among adolescents, increased stress levels).
- Changing demographics (increasing older population) pose challenges for Canadian healthcare.
- High rates of transportation accidents and intentional self-harm among younger people are significant concerns.
Health Promotion Mechanisms
- Promotion of self-care encourages individuals to look after their well-being.
- Social support systems (friends, family, colleagues) positively impact health outcomes.
- Agency-provided support fills gaps where naturally occurring support is lacking.
Psychology & Health Promotion
- Several psychological theories apply to health promotion.
- The multi-process action control model integrates aspects of planning, enacting, maintaining behaviour.
- Health belief model, theory of planned behaviour, and theory of reasoned action help understand individual beliefs and behaviours relevant to health promotion.
- Health promotion campaigns consider persuasive techniques such as fear-arousing messaging (with a focus on efficacy) and framing (emphasizing positives or negatives), for behaviour change.
Health Promotion Strategies
- People are more likely to adopt healthy behaviours when they believe that those behaviours are beneficial.
- Promotion of behaviour change based on beliefs and attitudes is effective.
- Social determinants play a crucial role in health promotion.
Assessing Health Promotion Program Effectiveness
- Evaluation considers community needs, experiential aspects, historical comparisons, scientific/normative standards, and ethical considerations.
- Co-production between health institutions, individuals, and communities supports effective health promotion.
- The Precede-Proceed model is a framework for planning, implementing, and evaluating health promotion programs, consisting of 9 phases.
