AS Alan Sanderson Reply all| To: Clementine Treloar (Student); Thu 24/03 Hi Clementine, Aims to cover 1. Consider ethical issues involved in health promotion 2. Examine contemporary themes in health promotion 3. Develop the skills necessary to plan, conduct and evaluate a Health Promotion campaign for a target [login to view URL] of 1,750 words You are required to identify a suitable topic for a Health Promotion Campaign then provide details of how this campaign will be formulated, implemented and evaluated. Finally, you need to explore the dilemmas and challenges that the campaign might encounter and offer your recommendations who these can be addressed. ALO 1, 2 & 3 are addressed by this task report could be structured as follows: 1. The Topic - describe the challenges posed by childhood obesity, the need to address these problems particularly, in part, through exercise (include some statistics and mention that your initiative should be coupled with improved diet). Explain that the initiative will take place in Trispen and clarify its context. 2. Formulation of Policy - start with aim(s) and objectives: Aim...To improve the fitness levels of children in the Trispen Village area by..... Objectives a. To achieve ...% reduction who are obese (you will need to define obesity and I suggest that you do this with a footnote) who are attending Trispen Village School. b. To achieve ...% reduction in children from the Trispen area consulting GPs about weight reduction. c. To increase socialisation, and thereby integration, amongst children. d. To reduce traffic congestion by...% e. To reduce air pollution by...% Then continue this section by describing how this proposal is coherent - the manner it fits together, the anticipated levels of participation (you will need to clarify the research that has been carried out), what funding is available, high profile interest and how necessary resources such as road awareness, construction of a cycle path, provision of a bicycle shed, necessary staffing etc. will be provided. This section should then consider how the relevant decision makers will be contacted and the policy "sold" - thus their stake in the process will need to be clarified. Finally this section should confirm the outputs and outcomes (as detailed in the objectives) and clarify how measures of achievement will be made. 3. Implementation of Policy a. A community initiative so the process will need to be marketed to both potential participants and the wider community as a health promotion programme - clarify how this will be accomplished. b. Consider what other local resources can be employed to assist in implementation. c. Briefly state the timetable for implementation, who will be involved and in what capacity. d. Consider if any cultural barriers might be present in implementation. 4. Evaluation of Policy a. Confirm what formative evaluations are to take place and how these results will be used. b. Confirm if a summative evaluation will be used (for instance before the Summer holidays). 5. Short section on possible challenges and dilemmas. 6. Conclusion
