(SOPHE) Society for Public Health Education - Health Promotion Programs

3 What do you think it would be like to work in a health promotion program? This chapter talks about health promotion programs in five settings—schools, workplaces, colleges and universities, healthcare organizations, and communities. Which setting is of most interest for you with regard to working in a health promotion program? What is attractive about this setting and the people in the setting? Who are the setting stakeholders?

4 What role does technology play in how you, family members, and friends promote your own health? How often do you use the Internet to find health information? What wearable technologies and apps do you use?

5 How do you navigate the societal forces (social justice and equity, technology, healthcare system, health is political) in the emerging health era to formulate and take action to promote the health of the individuals and communities for which you care and serve?

Explain the intersection of health promotion, equity, and social justice.

Describe how health status and healthcare vary among individuals and groups of people within the same community.

Identify actions health promotion programs take to advance health equity and social justice.

Summarize how the Health in All Policies guideline created conditions to facilitate greater health equity and social justice.

Effective health promotion programs strive to promote health equityand social justice. Health equity means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. This requires removing obstacles to health such as poverty, discrimination, and their consequences, including powerlessness and lack of access to good jobs with fair pay, quality education and housing, safe environments, and healthcare. Health equity means reducing and ultimately eliminating disparities in health and its determinants that adversely affect excluded or marginalized groups. Social justice is the view that everyone deserves equal rights and opportunities—this includes the right to good health. Yet today there are inequities in health that are avoidable, unnecessary, and unjust. These inequities are the result of policies and practices that create an unequal distribution of money, power, and resources among communities based on race, class, gender, place, and other factors.
