Contemporary health promotion practice requires a comprehensive systems-based approach to improve the health of communities and populations. Students will focus on the development of inter-sectoral partnerships and collaborations to create health promoting environments and settings (e.g. communities, schools, workplaces). Emphasis will be on the promotion of equity and empowerment through community development approaches strengthening participation and ownership. Students will also explore the use of culturally appropriate communication methods and behaviour change techniques.
