• Disease Prevention-“the process of reducing risks and alleviating disease to promote, preserve, and restore health and minimize suffering and distress” (Joint Committee, 2001)

Measuring Health or Health Status

• Typically measured using ill health; injury, disease and death

• Common means• Rates (measure of group at certain time)• Life expectancy (birth, 65, and 75)• YPLL (measured at 65 and 75)• DALYs (lost years of healthy life)• Health surveys

Underlying Concepts of Health Education

• Health field concept (Lalonde, 1974)

• Human biology (heredity) (26.3%)• Environment (15.8%)• Lifestyle (health behavior) (48.5%)• Health care organization (10.8%)

Underlying Concepts of Health Education (continued)

• Prevention

- the planning for and the measures taken to forestall the onset of, a disease or other health problem before the occurrence of undesirable health events.

Why Health Promotion and Disease Prevention?

• Historically, the health care field and services have focused on the treatment of disease, not the prevention or onset of illness.

• Why is this so?

• Prevention only accounts for 1% of the nation’s expenditures for health.

Prevention Counts.Prevention Counts.

• Why is disease prevention and health promotion a better way to go?

1) Prevention saves lives1) Prevention saves lives

2) Prevention improves the quality of life2) Prevention improves the quality of life

• “health education in a school setting that is planned and carried out with the purpose of maintaining, reinforcing, or enhancing the health, health-related skills, and health attitudes and practices of children and youth that are conducive to their health.”

Health Education:Health Education:

• is eclectic in nature.

• is an applied science.• has a body of knowledge that comes from

other disciplines. (Galli, 1976)

• is bigger than a discipline.

• is smaller than a profession.

Health Education:An Emerging Profession

Discipline• “a branch of knowledge or instruction”

• “an occupation that properly involves a liberal, scientific, or artistic education”

Profession• “the sociological construct for an occasion that

has special status”

• “one who pursues as a business some vocation or occupation”

Why not a profession?Why not a profession?

• Not clearly defined by others, though now recognized by U.S. Dept. of Commerce and Labor

• Several issues still unresolved• Period of preparation• System to regulate behavior of members• Culture peculiar to profession• Single association

FoundationsFoundations

Unit 2Unit 2

• What is philosophy?• A statement summarizing the attitudes,

principles, beliefs, values, and concepts held by an individual or a group.

• Why does one need a philosophy?• People’s philosophies help form the basis

of reality for them. A philosophy helps to determine how one lives, works, plays, and generally approaches life.

PhilosophyPhilosophy

Major Schools of Philosophy

• Realism - truth exists independent of the mind; nature is the appropriate guide

• Idealism - reality is composed of ideas; conception of things as one thinks they should be

• Pragmatism - experience is the ultimate reality; therefore what works (or is practical) is right

• Eclectic - made up of what seems best of varied sources

A Philosophy of an...A Philosophy of an...

• individual is expressed in the way he/she sees the world (what is true for him/her)and is reflected in how one acts.

• organization is often expressed in its mission statement.

Stages of Change TheoryStages of Change Theory

• 6 stages of behavior change• Precontemplation• Contemplation• Preparation• Action• Maintenance• Termination

• Precontemplation• Person is not aware that they have a problem

and does not see how unhealthy behavior is effecting their life or health.

• Process of change: • Consciousness raising

• Social liberation

• Helping relationships

• Contemplation• Person knows that change would be good, but

does not have the confidence to change and needs more information.

• Process of change:• Self-reevaluation

• Dramatic relief (emotional arousal)

• Preparation• Person begins preparing for changing unhealthy

behavior for new healthy behavior. • Process of change

• Self-liberation (commitment)

• Action• Person begins the new healthy behavior.• Process of change

• Reinforcement management (Reward)

• Stimulus control

• Counterconditioning

• Maintenance• Person is practicing healthy behavior but may

need feedback and a booster to avoid obstacles and temptations.

• Process of change• Helping Relationships

• Termination• Person feels that new behavior is a part of their

life and they never look back and think about the unhealthy behavior.

• Helping Relationships

Diffusion TheoryDiffusion Theory

• Definition: spread of ideas and innovations over time through communication channels among members of a social system.

• Used to predict best channels to communicate health information in hopes of behavior change.

• Adopter categories• Innovators (1.3%)• Early adopters (16%)• Early majority (33%)• Late majority (33%)• Laggards (16%)

• Behavior change occurs in 4 phases:• Pre-Training• Training • Initial Testing• Continual Performance

• Pre-Training Phase• Reciprocal Determinism• Behavioral Capability

• Is person capable of performing task?

• What will the likely outcome be?

• Expectancies• Value placed on expected outcomes

• Self-Efficacy• Emotional coping response

• Initial Testing Phase• Observational learning• Self-control or self-regulation

Social Marketing TheorySocial Marketing Theory

What is it?What is it?

• Social Marketing Theory-• Applies the concept of traditional marketing to

the “sale” or promotion of healthy behaviors. • Elements

• market plan• carefully designed messages • employment of mass media • consensus building• appropriate packaging

SMT continuedSMT continued

• SMT emphasizes the importance of specific target audiences and segmentation of the population when designing programs.• Gender, race, age, religion, education, etc.

ComponentsComponents

• The eight components include but are not limited to: • consumer orientation• exchange theory • audience analysis and segmentation• formative research • channel analysis• marketing mix• process tracking• marketing management

1) Consumer orientation 1) Consumer orientation

• This component consists of familiarizing the health educators and marketers to the needs of the consumers to better market towards them. • To discover the needs and wants of the

consumers, focus groups can be formed to represent the demographic being served.

2) The Exchange Theory2) The Exchange Theory

• Tangible and non-tangible items that are given up to achieve health behavior goal.

• To achieve a lower triglyceride level and decrease your total cholesterol you might have to give up eating at McDonalds five times a week in exchange for two times a week.

3) Audience Analysis and Segmentation

• Audience analyses, knowing your target populations.• what population you are working with• who is at risk

• Segmentation, describes breaking down populations into more specific groups. This makes groups readily available for analysis, diagnosis, and treatment with new implementation of programs.

4) Formative Research 4) Formative Research

• Documentation of development

• Extensive note taking

• Existing materials

• Materials that need to be made

• Continuous Evaluation

5) Channel Analysis 5) Channel Analysis

• Channels refer to the lines of communication through which an individual is reached.• Billboards• TV• Internet• Print Media• Novelty Items• Radio• News Outlets

• When trying to promote the Gardasil vaccination, concentrate on channels of media that young women are exposed to, such as teen magazine, MTV.

6) Marketing Mix6) Marketing Mix

• Based on the 4P’s: • product• price• place• Promotion

• And sometimes PARTNER

6) Marketing Mix cont.6) Marketing Mix cont.

• Product-• What we are trying to “sell”?• May be a tangible product or in our case an

intangible product, the idea of health.• Can be used to explore the consumer’s

perception of the problem or product and how to remedy it.

• Price-• Price describes what the consumer has to “pay”

for the product. • Monetary

• Time

• Effort

• Remembering to do it

• Behaviors will more likely be adopted if the benefits outweigh the costs.

• Place-• Where will you promote?• Where will product be sold?

• shopping malls

• mass media

• fliers

• brochures

• Promotion-• Integrates the advertisements, public relations,

promotion, media, personal testimonials, and entertainment sources.

• The rationale for promotion is to create and sustain the product.

• a PSA may be used to increase awareness of breast cancer and give tips on self examination.

7) Process Tracking 7) Process Tracking

• Evaluations• surveys • Letters to the editors• Press release

• process (what you are doing right now)

• impact (directly after the fact), and

• outcome (after the program, ie. 6 months) evaluations.

PartnerPartner

• Teaming up with other organizations to better market to the desired consumer

• Collaboration of time, resources, people, money, etc.

8) Marketing Management 8) Marketing Management

• Involves the specific aspects of the program you are trying to manage • Budget • Administration issues• Team building• Leadership

• Ethics and the Health Education Profession

Three Areas of PhilosophyThree Areas of Philosophy

• Ethics - The study of morality

• Epistemology - The study of knowledge

• Metaphysics - The study of the nature of reality

EthicsEthics

• The study of good and bad, right and wrong, of duty and obligation, and of reasoning and choices.

• The important thing to remember is that moral-immoral and ethical-unethical essentially mean right-wrong, good-bad.

Reasons to Act EthicallyReasons to Act Ethically

Why Be Ethical?Why Be Ethical?

“A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.”

King Solomon

Ethical TheoriesEthical Theories

• Formalism (deontological or non-consequentialism) - looking at the act; the end does not justify the means.

• Consequentialism - looking at the consequences; the end does justify the means.

• Natural Law-person has a right to choose their own behavior unless the behavior harms society.

• Utilitarianism-Overall benefit to society

• Paternalism-Can act if person is unable to decide, significant harm without action, or will agree to action at a later date.

• Distributive Justice-distributing goods and services equally. Not discriminating by gender, age, ethnicity, or education

• Social Justice-determining the root causes underlying health problems. Not providing charity but helping society in order to help people to live a healthier lifestyle.

5 Basic Principles for Common Moral Ground

• Value of Life - The first and most basic principle

• Goodness or Rightness - Subdivided into two related principles• Nonmaleficence - The first duty is to do no

harm• Beneficence or Benevolence - To do good;

actions that provide for the greater good of the community

5 Basic Principles for Common Moral Ground (cont’d)

• Justice or Fairness - everyone has an equal chance at obtaining the benefits

• Honesty or Truthfulness - the heart of any moral relationship and meaningful communication

• Autonomy - Individuals must have the freedom to choose their own way of being ethical using the framework of the first four principles.

Ethical Decision MakingEthical Decision Making

• Define problem & seek answers to relevant questions.

• Consider the goals & ideals for which you are striving.

• Consider the consequences of each alternative.

• Consider consequences in terms of various ethical principles.

Ethical Decision Making (cont’d)

• Consider the impact of a proposed action on you as a moral person.

• Consider the impact of a proposed action on society and environment.

• Apply the “categorical imperative”; how would you want others to act?

• Select your best alternative and act.
