Design a health promotion program for individuals in the
workplace or in school that results in increased physical or psychological
well-being.
? Define the following characteristics of your target
population:
o Occupation and location (or school level)
o Age range (or grade levels)
o Education range (or grade levels)
o Socioeconomic range
o Any potential language or cultural factors
o Other additional, pertinent factors
? Write four one-sentence goals for the program. Each of the
four goals must relate to successful program completion and should promote one
specific health behavior.
? Describe ways to get the target group interested in the
program. What incentives would you offer to develop positive attitudes and
increase motivation? When and how often will incentives be offered? How are the
incentives related to program goals?
? Develop ways to gauge and maintain long-term success. How
will participants measure progress toward modified habits or behavior? How will
the program reinforce lasting success after completion? How will the work or
school environment be modified to support program goals?
? Address individual needs. How might cultural beliefs
impact program perceptions? What kind of support will be available to
individuals who experience setbacks in goal achievement? How will the program
be delivered so there is equal access among your target population (in what
way, by whom, located where, in what form of media, etc.)?
