INTEGRATED HEALTH PROMOTION

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

This subject is concerned with integrated health promotion - a contemporary approach to acting on determinants of health through a mix of interventions and capacity building strategies. Students examine theoretical frameworks that underpin an integrated health promotion approach. Three types of case studies will provide you with insight into how to design a mix of health promotion interventions and capacity building strategies to achieve change: (i) elemental settings (schools, hospitals/other health care facilities, community locations and groups, retail facilities, markets, prisons); (ii) contextual settings (cities, communities, islands, villages); and (iii) healthy public policy and health in all policies. You will also assess and justify responses to key issues in implementing integrated health promotion approaches: applying interventions in complex systems; growing multidisciplinary teams, partnerships, networks and conditions for success; and mobilising/sustaining leadership.
