1.1.3 Describe different approaches to health education
 1.1.4 Differentiate between health promotion and health education 

Health education is  a  common subject in schools  –  you are  doing it  right now!  In  Health  Sciences, you learn about having a healthy lifestyle. You can pass the things that you learn onto your friends and your family. 
Do you consider health skills sessions as an example of health education? Justify your opinion.

campaign? 
Planning  a  health  promotion  campaign  is  quite  a  long  process.  

There  are  lots  of  things  that  planners  need  to  think  about.  They  need  to  do  lots  of  research.  This  research  is  done  by  collecting  information from many different people and places. 

Two  very  important  things  that  need  to  be  done  in  order  to  plan  a  health  promotion  campaign are:

Needs Assessment
The first thing that should be done when planning a campaign is working  out  the  health  needs  of  the  population.  This  means  thinking  about  what  health  issues  or  problems  are  important  right now. You will need to do some research to decide who the target audience (who it is aimed at) of the campaign should be. Information can be collected through interviews or questionnaires.
Target setting
Target  setting  should  include  all  the  basic  details  about  the  health  promotion  campaign.  You  need  to  use  the  information  that  you  have  analysed  from  the  needs  assessment  to  complete the target setting.

Some of the basic details that should be included in the target setting are:

Once the target setting is complete, you can then start to fully plan for the campaign. You may also start to make materials such as videos, posters, websites, etc.
Question:
What should be included in the plan?  

Increasing access to healthy foods & activities.
show the world the positive outcome to health out of working out.

This is usually done by the health worker (nurse) wherever and whenever she comes in contact with individuals who need knowledge, guidance and counselling regarding individual health problems and needs. Personal interviews can be planned or unplanned.

Approaches on Health Promotion: 

- Medical 

- Behaviour change

- Educational

- Social Change

- Empowerment

Medical Approach:

- Medical Interventions used to treat illness and restore health.

- Expert led, reinforces authority of health professionals.

- Patients are less involved in decision making

- Can be effective in some public health initiatives.

3 Types:

- Primary Prevention: Prevention of the onset of disease, e.g. screening immunization, 

encouraging non-smoking.

- Secondary Prevention: Preventing the progression of disease, e.g screening and other 

methods of early diagnosis.

- Tertiary Prevention: Reducing further disability and suffering in those already ill; preventing 

reoccurrence of an illness e.g. rehabilitation, patient education, palliative care. 

Medical approach has a high status because it uses scientific methods such as epidemiology (the 

study of the pattern of diseases in society). In the short term, prevention and the early detection of 

disease are much cheaper than the treatment of people who become ill. In the long term this may 

not be the case as people live longer and experience degenerative conditions and draw pensions for 

a longer period. The medical approach is expert led which makes it a top form of intervention. This 

kind of activity reinforces the authority of medical and health professionals who are recognized as 

having the expert knowledge needed to achieve the desired results. There has been a great success 

in public health as a result of using this approach, for example the worldwide eradication of smallpox
