Subject outline
In this subject, you will develop knowledge and skills for analysing the formation, structure and dynamics of groups and networks, and how their attributes can be utilised to effectively promote health. An appreciation will be developed of theories and models for mobilising collective action. Various local and international health consumer groups, advocacy coalitions and networks with health improvement and equity objectives will be examined from the perspectives of how they have built capacity and brought about change. Successful models for growing and sustaining networks for health will be discussed. The concepts of health literacy, health education and empowerment will provide foundations for this subject.
