MODULE 9 – EVIDENCE AND EFFECTIVENESS
Addressing a health issue:
- Identify the problem
- Select an intervention
• Evidence to see that they’ve worked or not (require evidence)
• Upstream – larger population groups that address determinants
• Downstream – smaller groups
- Evaluate at all stages
What is health promotion planning?
- It is based on good evidence, good community consultation
- Has clear and achievable goals and objectives
- It allows for good evaluation at all stages of the cycle
Why develop a plan?
- To ensure the program is appropriate to the:
• Health problem
• Identify target group
• Available resources
- To maximise the opportunity for achieving the desired change
- To enable the program to be implemented by others
- To enable the program to be evaluated and possibly duplicated
Health promotion planning cycle
1. Needs assessment – where are we now?
2. Setting goals and objectives – where do we want to go?
3. Project implementation
4. Evaluation
Changing behaviour is not easy:

K → what do people need to know
A → what attitudes will be helpful
S → what skills are required
E → what environment will support the environment
B → what behaviour are we wanting to change or promote?
Behaviour changes occur at different levels
1. Individual level
2. Group/community level
3. Population level
Strategies on what’s most appropriate:
1. Individual focus
2. Group focus
3. Population focus

change?

Document Summary
Select an intervention: evidence to see that they"ve worked or not (require evidence, upstream larger population groups that address determinants, downstream smaller groups. It is based on good evidence, good community consultation. Has clear and achievable goals and objectives. It allows for good evaluation at all stages of the cycle. To ensure the program is appropriate to the: health problem, available resources. To maximise the opportunity for achieving the desired change. To enable the program to be implemented by others. To enable the program to be evaluated and possibly duplicated. Strategy implementation: needs assessment where are we now, setting goals and objectives where do we want to go, project implementation, evaluation. K what do people need to know. E what environment will support the environment. Behaviour changes occur at different levels: individual level, group/community level, population level. Strategies on what"s most appropriate: individual focus, group focus, population focus. Change strategies change the environment change people"s behaviours: needs assesment.
