Guidance from an expert…

The following is a suggested format for delivery and presentation for the unit. It would be helpful to annotate the AO on the work.

AO1 – Generic

Ø  Describe what is meant by health and well-being?

Ø  Choose two factors that affect health and well-being, eg lifestyle choices and financial factors. Discuss how these can affect health. (Use at least four examples)

Ø  Discuss the differences between the medical and social models of health. Useful to compare the differences in the form of a table.

Ø  Use the medical and social models of health to explain why individuals fail to respond to health education advice?

Ø  Describe two ways in which an individual’s quality of life can be affected by ill health.

AO2

Ø  Select two key workers/practitioners whose main responsibility is health promotion. What tasks do they perform in relation to health promotion?

Ø  Look at the skills and qualities (separately) they require. Why are these so important to their job role?

Ø  Describe two preventative measures (in total) used by the key worker(s)/practitioner(s). How do these improve peoples’ health? Are these linked to any government initiative?

Ø  Briefly describe one government initiative. Look in detail at the potential implications of this initiative.

AO3

Ø  Use a wide range (four) of primary and secondary research to plan a small scale health education campaign. (A pre campaign questionnaire is sufficient for primary research).

In groups or by yourself:

Ø  Decide on a health promotion campaign. Set aims (maximum two) and objectives.

Ø  Plan who will do what and when. Consider potential costs.

Ø  Ensure the plan includes the approach (method) being used to deliver the campaign. Justify the method(s) used.

Ø  Discuss the pre-set criteria and the intended and possible unintended outcomes.

Ø  Compile a pre- and post-campaign questionnaire that measures the pre-set criteria. Ensure the post-campaign questionnaire includes feedback on your own performance.

AO4

Ø  How successful was your campaign?

Ø  How successful was your performance?

Ø  Make recommendations for improvements.

Ø  Remember to relate back to your pre-set criteria and intended/unintended outcomes.

Ø  Include a witness statement, signed and dated by an observer, to confirm your participation in the campaign.

Remember!

Ø  You could link your health promotion campaign to your interaction in Unit 2.

Ø  Make sure you reference sources of information within the text and include in your bibliography.
