Aim: compare two different approaches to health promotion: behaviour change and empowerment.

Performed ethical evaluation of goals/ goal structures in relation to ultimate goals of health promotion. First, when we talk about health promotion we refer to the practice of improving or sustaining the fundamental health of people, in order for manifest health to be as good as possible in the future.
