DIABETES HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAMME
Introduction
The current assignment focuses upon the development of campaign for the management
and control of type 2 diabetes within the indigenous Aboriginal community of Adelaide. In this
respect, the emphasis has been provided upon the incorporation of healthy food within the diet of
the focus group to control and manage the anomaly within the blood glucose level. Statistical
figures have pointed at reduced level of nutritious food consumption by the indigenous
community at Adelaide. Therefore, evaluation plans have been conducted in order to educate the
people living within the community regarding healthy eating and its health benefits.
2. Outline of Evaluation plan
 The proposed evaluation would be undertaken by the local and community health centre
workers looking after the health and welfare of the Australian Aboriginal community
living within the region of Adelaide.
 For the purpose of evaluation a number of resources would be required such as
availability of sufficient amount of funds along with additional personnel for
implementing and assessment of the objectives. The funds will be provided by both state
and federal government agencies. In order to promote the intake of more amounts of
fresh fruits and vegetables within the aboriginal diabetic community they should have
free access to the food resources (O’Hara et al., 2017). This calls for additional amount to
be vested by the government to increase the supply of food resources. In this respect,
additional pressure is levied upon the limited resources for the production of surplus food
crops. However, there is restricted land availability of land delimiting the amount of
harvest to be generated. This demand for the implementation of better methods and

technologies which could address the problem of food scarcity within the indigenous
population.
 The methods which had been implemented here for the evaluation of the health objective
are conducting regular health checkups, health assessment tests of the aboriginal people
consulting the local diabetic community centre. Some of the alternative methods which
will be implemented over here are promotion of healthy eating and healthy diet within the
target population group. Alongside, alternative health promotion strategies such as
implementing exercises on a daily basis can control the elevated amount of blood glucose
level (Sushames, Uffelen & Gebel, 2016).
 The involvement of the stakeholders within the health evaluation program plays a crucial
role. The stakeholders here comprises of the healthcare users, the hospices /community
centres providing the healthcare services and the concerned authorities, the healthcare
providers. Therefore, one of the most pronounced challenges which will be faced over
here in the implementation of the healthcare objectives is the lack of sufficient
knowledge within the health service users regarding the benefits of the new methods or
changes implemented. Therefore, receiving sufficient participation of the healthcare users
in the implementation and success of the health campaigns is very important (Wright,
Wahoush, Ballantyne, Gabel & Jack, 2016). For the purpose of which education
programs related to type 2 diabetes and additional control methods could be provided to
the target population group. In this respect, a number of protocols could be followed for
spreading mass awareness within the community regarding the health promotion
programmes. Some of these are effective poster presentation programs highlighting the
