This minor is designed to prepare students for a supporting role as a health promotion professional in a changing global environment. Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over their health, strengthening their skills and capabilities but also actions directed towards reducing inequalities in the community. Students will cover planning, development and implementation of health promotion policies and projects, for example Quit or Go for 2&5, using a variety of strategies, including e-health, mass media, community development and engagement processes, advocacy, social marketing, research and evaluation.
