HPRO6715 Foundations of Health Promotion
Assignment 1A.
The purpose of Assignment 1 is for you to explore the published literature to find examples of health
promotion interventions, consider how these do/do not align to elements of the Ottawa Charter, and reflect
on how that can help us to plan for future health promotion investments and interventions. We are looking for
evidence that you have read widely, thought about these things in both a theoretical and practical way, and
that you give answers that are sound, objective and based on evidence rather than opinion.
STEP 1. Choose one of the following health promotion goals.
• Encourage mothers to breastfeed their babies
• Improve the nutrition of young children
• Reduce road fatalities
• Reduce the number of older people who fall
• Reduce smoking by people with mental illness
• Increase the number of children fully immunised according to government recommendations
• Reduce dangerous alcohol consumption by young people
STEP 2. Search peer-reviewed journals for papers describing interventions that address your chosen health
promotion goal.
Remember: an intervention is a specific, concrete action that is designed to have a positive impact
on health.
Suitable: Papers describing pilot studies, randomised controlled trials, or other research
trials.
Not suitable: Papers about methods/how to measure things, protocol papers describing
interventions/studies, descriptive papers that talk about what the issues are or who they affect,
commentaries/editorials/reviews etc.
Additional tips:
• Make sure that you choose things that are quite clear and concrete: you should be able to see a
narrative in the paper which says: this is the health issue, this is the intervention they designed
to address it, and this is what happened. If those things are not clear, choose another paper else.
• Try to find different approaches to the problem so that you are exploring different ideas. This will
give you more to talk about in the final two questions. For instance, you might pick two
interventions that are at different levels of the spectrum of health promotion, and/or target
different determinants.
• You do not have to limit yourself to things that “worked” – it is fine to include examples of
interventions that did not achieve the desired outcomes. That still tells us something worth
knowing.
• Provide enough detail in your responses to question 1 so that it clearly shows how intervention
does/doesn’t reflect each domain of the Ottawa Charter.
• When you have read widely, choose two (2) papers describing suitable interventions. Both must
address the same issue from the list above. These will be the focus of your written task with four
(4) questions as follows.
STEP 3. Prepare your written assignment using the template provided.
Each question on the template provides an indication of the volume (word count) of information expected to
respond. Ensure throughout each of the four questions that all information referred to is cited accordingly.

QUESTION 3
Describe where each of your two interventions would sit on the Spectrum of Health Promotion
Interventions. How do they compare in terms of individual versus population focus? What effect might this
have on their capacity to contribute to the overall health promotion goal that you chose to write about?

QUESTION 4
Reflecting on everything you have written so far and any additional relevant information you came across in
researching this task, provide final comments on the likely value of these two interventions to achieve their
outcome. (length is 400 words ± 10% (360-440)
