Introduction

Prevention of illnesses and health promotion is achieved through planned

activities and strategies that focus on improving the health outcomes of a population.

According to the World Health Organization (2019), “health promotion programs enable

individuals to have control over their health…to benefit and protect the health of the

individuals and increase the quality of life by addressing and preventing the causes of ill

health." As identified in the community diagnosis for SE Calgary, substance abuse is a

challenge for underprivileged youths. However, a wellness program can promote health

by impacting active decisions and positive attitudes in the youth to contribute to positive

health behaviors and outcomes (Escoffery et al., 2018). The current activity develops a

community health promotion program by describing the community, giving a rationale,

formulating objectives, evaluating approaches, summarizing strengths and limitations,

and explaining the role of a community health nurse.

Target Community

The current community health promotion program targets the socio-economically

disadvantaged youths of SE Calgary. Disproportionate youth suffer substance abuse by

indulging in drugs such as alcohol and marijuana. Subsequently, they are faced with

various challenges such as health-related issues, poor academic performances, deviant

peer relationships, and involvement in crime (Skogen et al., 2019). In SE Calgary, the

economically disadvantaged populations mostly consist of indigenous people. In

addition, the visible minority groups such as Blacks, Chinese, Asians, Latin Americans,

and Filipinos live in poverty, where 1 in 5 families live in poverty compared to the 1 in 20

for other groups (Government of Alberta, 2021). Whereas males from low-income

families are twice likely to indulge in substance abuse, their female

counterparts are also at a possible risk (Skogen et al., 2019). Hence, the program

considers both males and females from low-income families in SE Calgary.

Rationale

Youths from economically disadvantaged families are at a higher risk of using

substances. Several studies have correlated the likelihood of higher rates of substance

abuse and economically disadvantaged youths. A study comparing all drug constructs

suggests, “Young adults from low-income households tend to consume alcohol in

higher frequencies and quantities” (Skogen et al., 2019). In addition, the youth living

with guardians who are stressed economically are less likely to achieve higher

education and experience poor parent-child relationships (Rusby et al., 2018). Despite

these challenges, most youthful populations from these backgrounds are resilient and

avoid using substances, rising to the challenge (Rusby et al., 2018). The major factors

contributing to these high rates include low-income family involvement, lack of

awareness, and low educational attainment. For instance, a study on family

environment and substance abuse found that poor parent-child relationships in young

adulthood correlated to higher chances of using substances (Rusby et al., 2018).

Therefore the program seeks to create positive family environments, create awareness

and promote attainment of education to overcome the involvement in marijuana,

alcohol, and drugs.

Plans and Activities

Health promotion creates educates individuals and creates positive lasting

impacts on patients' lives. The program will incorporate two health promotion

approaches that include creating a supportive environment and strengthening

community action. In supportive environments, fostering an environment that will

socially and physically assist the youths of SE Calgary in wellness and positive health

is the goal. The program will aim to eliminate negative
