by trying to get a population to avoid a certain condition/outcome, it can lead to negative views of the outcome and reinforce stereotypes associated with people who already have it.

Eg Drug users and HIV, people will think they only have themselves to blame

27

Describe the false empowerment caused by health promotion.

A

Giving people information doesnt necessarily give them the means to change a situation, they may be limited by funds, or social standings etc.

Describe victim blaming caused by health promotion.

A

By only focussing on what that person can do/not do to change their behaviours ignores the wider aspects which also affect behaviour, such as environment and finance.

Just becuase an intervention makes a difference at the population level, doesnt mean it will make a difference at the individual level.

This can lead to things such as poor adherance, or people putting things down to fate/coming up with excuses
