use relevant theory and contemporary frameworks to explain the concepts and evolution of public health and health promotion (ULO1);
describe global public health and health promotion responses to a range of health issues, and discuss their effectiveness (ULO2);
locate sources of information relating to public health and health promotion; collect, collate and analyse information from these sources to support ideas and arguments (ULO3); and
identify ethically-sound, evidence-based public health and health promotion recommendations in consideration of diverse communities (ULO4)
In addition, according to the Australian Health Promotion Association, there exists a range of core competencies that an entry-level health promotion practitioner should be able to demonstrate. This assessment task will enable you to work towards some of these key competencies. These include demonstrating knowledge of how to:
locate, conduct and critically analyse relevant literature (includes peer reviewed and grey literature, local, state and national strategic plans, and relevant area and organisational reports and policies);
compile an epidemiological and socio-demographic picture of the geographical or community population or setting of interest; and
describe a range of strategies to promote health – for example, health education, advocacy, lobbying, media campaigns, community development processes, policy development, legislation.
