Assignment 2.
The purpose of Assignment 2 is for you to review, reflect on, and critique a large-scale health promotion plan,
in line with concepts and methods covered in Module 3 and also leveraging relevant concepts and methods
covered in Modules 1 and 2. Many health promotion interventions – including the ones you selected for
Assignments 1A and 1B – correspond with a particular area of action. That area of action, in turn, is often one
part of a broader plan comprising many actions. So we can see here the necessity of large-scale plans in health
promotion – they contextualise and guide a range of actions in specific areas, with specific groups or
populations, addressing specific issues, over a specific period of time.
STEP 1. Choose one of the following health promotion goals. (links will take you to website)
• The National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan
• NSW HIV Strategy 2021-2025
• National Action Plan for the Health of Children and Young People 2020-2030
• NSW Healthy Eating and Active Living Strategy 2022-2023
NOTE: The plan may include content that extends beyond the scope of health promotion (e.g., direct clinical
care, recommendations for legal reform, etc.). This is often the case with large-scale plans, as it is vital to
contextualise health promotion actions and to link them with other areas of practice. We recommend you
develop your response with clear acknowledgement of this, but with a primary focus on actions as they relate
to health promotion.
STEP 2. Address each of the following questions in a succinct, thoughtful and evidence-informed manner.
Note: Please adhere to the following instructions for your responses.
– Answer all questions in a single document (e.g., word document) and upload this to Canvas.
– In your responses, be sure to refer to peer-reviewed evidence and other reliable sources to support
what you are arguing and these need to be adequately cited and referenced. This includes relevant
theories, models, frameworks or policies.
– Ensure you appropriately cite and reference your responses – the reference list DOES NOT count
towards word limit.
– Word limits are provided for each question, this is the overall word count for the question. For
example, if the question has a word count of 500 words ± 10% and asks you to address three
elements, your overall response should be 500 words ± 10%, NOT 1500 words ± 10%. Information
provided outside of the prescribed word limits may not be considered when assessing your
assignment

Question 1. (word limit 800 words ± 10%)
We have learned about the key elements of a well-written, rigorous health promotion plan (as below), what
each of these elements should include, and why they are important.
1. a rationale for action;
2. a statement of intent;
3. a description of proposed action;
4. governance;
5. evidence of community consultation; and
6. evaluation.
Outline and discuss how well your chosen health promotion plan has included and addressed each of these key
elements.
Question 2. (word limit 400 words ± 10%)
Health promotion does not occur in a vacuum, and therefore is not without its conflicts and challenges. These
issues can arise in the initial stages of our planning, right through implementation and towards impact and
outcomes that we perhaps didn’t expect or intend to begin with.
As such, consult and read through relevant health promotion literature in relation to the health issue/s
discussed in your chosen plan. Reflecting on what the literature tells you, and considering what your chosen
plan aims to achieve, comment on what you perceive to be the potential conflicts and challenges.
Question 3. (word limit 200 words ± 10%)
Based on your reflections from responding to the above questions, and on your general critical appraisal of the
plan you chose, comment on the overall quality and likely effectiveness of the plan.
If you happen to have criticisms, comment on what you would recommend be changed in order to improve the
document and why.
TIP/ADVICE: As with Questions 1 and 2, be sure to adopt an evidence-informed approach for this response –
avoid simply presenting your own personal opinion. We want to see that you have thought about strategic
planning in health promotion with due attention paid to peer-reviewed literature and other reliable sources of
evidence. We encourage you to research widely – including looking at similar plans that focus on the same
health issue/s as your chosen plan, to provide a point for comparison.
