Summary: Major Health Promotion

The health promotion initiative is science and system design to improve and promote health in a specific community. I have a very strong experience in the Bronx where I have spent most of my time and raise my kids and a careful study of the inhabitants who are serious to make earns meet are lucking the time to take care of their personal life. Taking my formal neighborhood (white plain road) for example is an area being underestimated by so many people because of selling of weed, drugs, prostitution, shoplifting etc. But for one to live in that area, you need to have either a good job or do double in other to meet your needs. As a result of that, the inhabitants do not have time for themselves, an example is to eat well, exercise visits their

Education is another great way to prevent the number of teenage alcoholics from rising any further. We can control this situation with just a couple lessons and speeches to inform kids about the consumption of alcohol by explaining how it affects their mind psychologically. Sure, drinking may cause stress relief and relaxation to the teenagers burdened with the amount of schoolwork and deciding their future. However, when

Family is vital to this Asian American family and respect is expected. Over the years, the mother has adapted to some western ways but maintains certain culture values and passed them on to her children. Diet plays a huge part in their health maintenance and protection. The diet manly consists of rice, vegetables and fish. Along with diet, exercise and staying fit is a big part of their ethnic background. The mother stated to me “Don’t you see all the Asian ladies at the gym? We take pride in staying fit.” To them their body is a temple and needs to be cared for. Spirituality of mind body and soul is another significant part of their health. Partaking in meditation, massage therapy and acupuncture are ways to rid the body of imbalance and place it back in balance to fight illness and diseases. Illness may be attributed to organic or physical problems an imbalance of yin and yang, an obstruction of chi (life energy), a failure to be in harmony with nature, punishment for immoral behavior (in this or past lives), or a curse placed by an offended spirit ("Vietnamese Cultural Profile — EthnoMed," n.d.). While this family is westernized in some ways, by going to the doctor and

Current attitudes towards health promotion in young people are significantly understood by the importance of the determinates of health such as income, level of education, cultural beliefs, geographic location and employment. For an effective long term outcome on health promotion it involves several approaches to bring about this change. This includes lifestyle and behavioural approaches, public health approaches and preventative medical approaches.

Adolescent, Pre-Teen and Under Age Drinking Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the serious problems and concerns associated with adolescent, pre-teen and underage drinking.

I believe the focus should change into health promotion/disease prevention. Increasing focus on prevention will help improve our health, quality of life and prosperity. The article written by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention reveals, “ seven out of 10 deaths among Americans each year are because of undetected chronic disease such as cancer and heart disease” (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) . Approximately one out of every two adults has at least one chronic illness, many of which maybe preventable if a routine health visit was done on regular bases. When people receive preventive care, they have better health and lower health care costs. For example, expanding the linkages between clinical and community prevention efforts,

There have been a lot of changes in healthcare over the years. Traditionally, the healthcare system in the United States has been focused on caring for the sick and treating and preventing diseases. But a new standard has developed. Focus has now shifted to health promotion.

Opening Statement Health promotion seems to be a thing of the past as more and more health care providers have their sights set on treatment instead of preventative strategies. However, health promotion is severely needed for everyone, but most especially individuals with intellectual disabilities and special needs. This demographic of individuals comes with their own set of needs and barriers, and are often at a higher predisposition for higher rates of illness; yet they deserve and have the same rights to effective illness prevention and health care as anyone else.

Communities have noticed problems with juvenile drinking and driving and started The Saving Lives Project, which was planned to reduce alcohol impaired driving and related problems (Holder 2). This development uses media and education to get the knowledge out about the risk of drinking. The communities that are a part of this project have shown a 40 percent decrease in alcohol related crashes (Holder 2). The project has been shown that older teen’s ages sixteen to nineteen are now less likely to drink and drive after learning about the risks in alcohol classes. Colleges that have set a week to focus on education and prevention of alcohol have shown a five-fold increase (Gonzalez 4).

Another reason why the legal drinking age was changed is because of the fact that the adolescent brain is not fully developed; it is supposed that “excessive alcohol intake causes brain damage” in teens. However, in order for damage to occur, the drinking has to be extremely excessive.

Health is defined as a state in which human needs are met in an autonomic way, and is not limited to the absence of disease or disablement (V. Henderson). Optimal health is a lively, self-motivated equilibrium of physical, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and social well-being. The concept of health promotion delineates

Why is 18-25 year olds the appropriate target audience? Drinking Age In the UK from the age of eighteen you are legally allowed to buy alcohol and get into clubs. This is where young adults fail to see the dangers of binge drinking as they are so excited that they are now legal. This health promotion campaign will make sure that it explains to these young people the importance of moderating how much they are drinking, making sure that they spread their drinks out and also cutting down binge drinking and hopefully stop completely for the main reason of saving their health and protecting their health for the future. 18-25 year olds are the main targets of individuals on a night out in the UK and this is one main reason towards my target audience
