Lily-May MoretonPublic health assignment 2: campaigns to promote public
health
Within this report I will discuss how the Change For Life campaign promotes health,
how they have applied prevention and control, how theories can be applied, how
successful they are in protecting health and other topics within these areas. Change
for life is a health campaign that look at healthy foods and how people can control
what they are eating.
P5:
Firstly, I will be explaining how monitoring the health status of the community and
targeting education and health awareness promotes health in change for life. Also,
how specific programmes and environmental controls protects health in the change
for life campaign.
Monitoring the health status of the population- this means for the government to
be looking at the overall health on the community and seeing what can be improved,
where ill-health is most common and how they can then solve this. An example of
this is if the government observed the health of a city, they then look at which areas
have the worst ill-health and what the reasons behind this are and then they can
make policies and campaigns to encourage people to lead better lifestyles which will
improve their health. This is shown in the change for life campaign when they go to
schools and look at the health of the children and what they are eating within these
families, the workers will then work to show these children fun and interesting ways
that they can eat healthier. Once they have been to these different schools and look
at the health of different areas they will then look at the information of how
individuals eat, they will then put the information into facts and figures which will
encourage others to look into eating healthier. The government also collect data
about people’s health around eating, they do this with census and they can then
share this information with NHS campaigns such as Change for life, this will help the
campaign because it means that they can then look at the areas and people who are
most affected and target the education toward them, encouraging them to change
their lifestyle.
Targeted Education, Health Awareness and Health Promotion Programmes- The
Change 4 Life campaign educates people on a healthy lifestyle and promote health
awareness in many ways. One way that change 4 life educates people through their
campaign is by going out to schools and teaching young children what a healthy
lifestyle is. They do this by having resources to give the children which gives them the
chance to look at healthy life styles in fun and interesting ways. Some examples of
these resources are recipe ideas, healthy living games and they provide lesson plans
