Intro to Health Promotion Program Planning Flashcards
WHAT IS HEALTH PROMOTION PLANNING? Involves? (3)
o Decisions based on the gathering and analysis of a wide range of information
o Involves a variety of approaches that include:
– Strategic planning
– Program planning
– Operational planning
Why is project planning and management so important? What’s critical? A lack of may lead to?
- When these elements are managed well, project outcomes may be greater than expected.
o Participation by stakeholder groups is critical to achieving the best results.
o a lack of participation may lead to decisions being overruled, delayed, challenged, or questioned by either internal or external stakeholders.
Mismanagement of time and missed deadlines can result in? Poor management of budgets and other resources may lead to?
o lost opportunities, decreased impact of the project, and greater stresses in partner relationships.
o unanticipated costs and even an inability to complete the project.
Ill-informed decisions result from? (3) GOOD DECISIONS TAKE? (3)
o misleading, weak, or incomplete databases.
o TIME, CREATIVITY, AND A SUPPORTIVE CLIMATE.
Project planning/mgmt consists of? (4)
-»> Needs assessment -> Program planning -> Program implementation -> program evaluation -»»
Steps in the Planning Process? (6)
1: pre-planning & project mgmt
2: situtation assessment
3: identify goals, populations of interest, and objectives
4: identify strategies, activities, and resources
5: develop indicators
6: evaluate the program plan
Each step involves what elements? (7)
- Participation
- Process
- Time
- Money and Other Resources
- Data Gathering
- Role of Theory
- Decision Making
Step 1 - first thing to assess? That entails? (2)
Participation
• Who should be involved and how?
• Identifying and Working with Stakeholders
Step 1 - Identify Stakeholders who are? (4) Define each.
Ø core, supportive, involved and peripheral (think of
organizations and individuals).
o Core: on the situational team
o Supportive: providing some form of support
o Involved: frequently consulted or part of process
o Peripheral: need to be kept informed
Step 1 - 2nd thing to assess? That entails? (3) 3rd thing to assess?
Time
• When can planning begin?
• When should it end?
• How much time is available?
Money and Other Resources
• Inventory available resources
Step 1 - 4th thing to assess? That entails? (2) 5th thing?
Data Gathering
• Identify what data is available, how and
when new data might be gathered.
• Identify how new and existing data will be
analyzed.
Decision-Making
• Identify when and how key decisions will
be made.
Step 1 - 6th thing to assess? Which ones? (3)
Role of Theory
o The model, set of beliefs and assumptions, or theory
you use to collect and interpret data, makes a
difference in planning.
Ø Biomedical Approach
Ø Behavioral Approach
Ø Socio-environmental Approach
Step 1 - Each model focuses on? Most health promotion programming is a?
- different information
about the topic or population of interest
and suggests a range of different strategies.
o mixture of all three approaches and
related-data collection.
Biomedical Approach Concerned with? i.e?
o the processes of disease
and its impact (usually amenable to medical intervention).
o i.e.:
ØIn heart disease, you would focus on screening
for cholesterol and high blood pressure, and be
concerned with the availability of drugs that
control blood pressure and cholesterol.
Behavioral Approach Concerned with? i.e?
o behaviors and how
behaviors lead to disease and disability.
o i.e.:
ØStrategies for addressing heart health might
include education (benefits of a low fat diet and
physical activity), special programs to
encourage people to quit smoking, programs to
lower stress in the workplace, and lobbying the
food industry to provide low fat alternatives
Behavioral approach entails? (3) When used alone, this model has been criticized for?
o Collected data: levels of smoking, physical activity,
consumption of fat, and presence of stress in
workplace.
o Goals and objectives: set in terms of these
outcomes as well as the blood cholesterol and
pressure measures from the biomedical model.
o encouraging a“blame the victim” approach in HP
programming
Socio-environmental Approach Concerned with? These factors include such determinants of health as? (9)
o the conditions in the
psychosocial, socioeconomic, and physical
environments which create conditions for illhealth
or wellness.
Ø housing, security, belonging to a community, adequate income, food, clean air,
clean water, safe working conditions, etc.
Socio-environmental Approach
HP strategies in this model include? (4) Example for heart health?
- political advocacy, community development,
public health policies, and creating supportive environments in addition to
developing personal skills.
ØFor heart health, this could mean advocacy with
businesses to provide opportunities for physical
activity in the workplace, advocacy with
government to provide adequate levels of
income support, and working with isolated
individuals to develop a sense of community
Step 2 includes? (8)
- Stakeholder Perspectives
- Literature and Previous Experience
- Health-Related Data
- Mandates
- PEEST Analysis
- Information Gaps
- Possible Features of Project Design
- Can you proceed?
Step 2 - Stakeholder Perspectives - list whom? Identify? (2)
• List those individuals and organizations who have a
stake in your project or the issues(s) addressed by
your project.
• What are the views of the stakeholders you have
identified concerning your intended project?
• Who wants it, who doesn’t, who has clear ideas for
it?
Step 2 - Literature and Previous Experience entails asking? Listing some?
• What does the literature say about similar
types of projects and how they should be
designed?
• List some of the things you know already
and what previous evaluations related to
your project topic have stated
Step 2 - Health-Related Data - list? Mandates - list? Identify?
• List the health and disease issues facing your
community (from available data).
• List the groups and organizations with a
mandate related to your intended project.
• Identify those who might be interested in
collaborations or partnerships.
Step 2 - What is a PEEST analysis? What to ask regarding information gaps?
• Examine the political, economic,
environmental, social and technological
factors that may affect your project.
- What are your information gaps?
- What information would you like to know?
Step 2 - Possible Features of Project Design - Identify? Which factors? (3)
- aspects of your project that need to be considered in any design, including population of interest, activities, timelines, and so forth.
