In this unit students are introduced to the guiding principles and frameworks for contemporary health promotion. The unit is designed to develop students' understanding of the need for health promotion actions to combine an evidence-based approach with creative insights, in order to meet the needs of diverse population groups in different social contexts. Students learn that for health promotion actions to be sustainable, an integrated and multilevel approach is required, which addresses the complex determinants of health. Students develop an understanding of how to classify individual (downstream) and structural (upstream) health promotion approaches, and consider evaluation strategies used in health promotion practice. Attention is also paid to the need to develop health promotion actions which are culturally appropriate for population groups including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and people from cultural and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
