Question

1)Provide a summary, in order, of the steps in a generic model of community organizing and building.?

2)Describe the difference between goals and objectives in public health promotion.

Answer 1

Part 1)

Recognizing the issue, gaining entry into the community, organizing the people, assessing the community, determining the priorities and setting goals, arriving at a solution and selecting intervention strategies, implementing the plan, evaluating the outcomes of the plan of action, maintaining the outcomes in the community, looping back.

Part 2)

Health education is only a part of health promotion. Health education is any combination of planned learning experiences based on sound theories that provide individuals, groups, and communities the opportunity to acquire information and the skills to make quality health decisions. Health promotion is any planned combination of educational, political, environmental, regulatory, or organizational mechanisms that support actions and conditions of living conducive to the health of individuals, groups, and communities. Health promotion is much more encompassing than health education.
