Assessment Task 3 (50%)
How can experience from implementing health promotion help us
design a health promotion intervention?
Requirement
2,000-word proposal for a health promotion initiative – Part B
Task
Purpose – The overall purpose of AT3 is to develop your ability to discuss issues that we know from
experience, are important to consider when designing a health promotion initiative.
Your task is to produce a short commentary on each of three key issues for health promotion
practice that are discussed in Module 3 (total – 2000 words):
• evidence and ethics (500-900 words)
• readiness, capacity and support (500-900 words)
• social capital (500-900 words).
The question to address in your commentary for each issue is:
Why is this issue important to understand and explicitly consider when designing a health promotion initiative?
In your response:
• Draw on appropriate peer reviewed literature and real examples of health promotion practice to
justify or illustrate your points
• If you wish, make reference to the health-related issue, and the population group which is
affected by it, that you explored in AT2

Background – In researching and completing AT2, you learned that theory can play an important role
when we wish to design a health promotion intervention. Theory can assist us by:
• explaining the nature and determinants of a problem
• identifying the range of factors that a health promotion intervention is seeking to change
• informing the development and implementation of health promotion intervention strategies
• ensuring all necessary elements of a health promotion program have been put in place.
In this assessment task, you will consider three key issues that the real-world practice of
implementing health promotion has shown to be important if our efforts are to be acceptable,
successful and enduring in their impact.
• Comment on any implications of these issues for the health professional development.
