INTRODUCTION
Health promotion activities are engaged in conducting distinct of awareness programmes
in order to educate people about well being development. Their main objective is to provide
effective services to people for increase their health level and serve appropriate care easily.
These type of activities are based on individual's behaviour toward environment and social issues
that impacts on their health supplements. For this process, government of a country and some
local authorities also conduct some initiatives that are related to individual’s health care issues
and problems to spread awareness easily (Lewis, 2015). This project report is based on some
different scenario in which First task is based on National Network of Smoking Prevention and
Poverty found that includes effects of socio-economic power on health and care activities.
Second task is based on Tobacco which is negatively impact on individuals life as well as
another section is based on appropriate planning on health promotion campaign. All these tasks
are representing impact of health promotion activities on individual's life-style and the role of
government as well as their initiative.
TASK 1
1.1 Effects of socio economic influences on health
This case study is based on National Network of Smoking Prevention which is
determining impacts of Cigarette smoking on socio-economic influences. These terms are used
to analyse homelessness, poverty, work load, labours working activities and stress on individual
person who choose smoking to reduce these effects on their own lifestyle. In this process,
education and cultural activity also play the most important role that is used to spread awareness
towards its negative effects. Each and every person desires to live healthy lifestyle that includes
minimum health issues and effective environment that do not impact negatively on their health.
Cigarette smoking is like a surviving tool for those people who belongs to low standard of living
and they cope up with stress and uses other things also to reduce its impact like alcohol and
caffeine etc.. For this process, it is very important that individuals understand values of their life
and impact of these things on social lifestyle. There are some other elements are determine below
that related to socio economic factors such as-
1

PU
 Unemployment – This is a socio-economic influence that directly impacts on
individual's life. Nowadays, young generation is facing these kinds of problems that
move them towards smoking to reduce stress.
 Labour's lifestyle – Labours in a country are working under pressure and their work
consumes lots of energy at a time. For this, they take shelter of smoking to reduce extra
stress and work with appropriate energy easily. These kind of things are not helps to
reduce Stress and work load but make them addicted of it.
1.2 Government sources in reporting on inequalities in health
Government and local bodies of a country play very important role to spread awareness
towards health and social care initiatives. In this process, they organise different initiatives and
campaign which is very effective for individual's health and care. There are some other sources
are explained below that used to analyse connection of government sources in for inequalities in
health and care activities such as -
Public Health and Administration department under government – Such kind of
government initiatives are organise for specific objectives which spread awareness among
individual and invite them to take part in this and gain appropriate knowledge and ideas. These
kind of authorities build connection with health care communities and some other foundations to
spread specific knowledge easily.
Public Hospitals and Medical Services – These factors are used to provide medical and
health care facility to each and every individual who belong to different standard and lifestyle. In
this, they also manage medical record of each person to analyse which disease affect social
lifestyle of people.
Community Health Research Foundations and Agencies – These kind of government
initiatives are working through foundation firms which analyse causes and effects of different
diseases that affect lifestyle and health issues of people. These things help to build awareness for
each and every person easily (Salazr and DiClemente, 2015).
Health and Lifestyle Surveys – This is a research process that uses to build awareness
by using different kind of survey among individual person. This is also a government initiative
which help in identify various issues such as lifestyle of individual and standard of living that
affect health caution issues of people.

PU
Black report – This was published by department of health and social security in the
year of 1980. main objective of this initiative is to reduce social class differences from the
economy. This report has concern with Britain's failure to make effective improvement in health
and social issues.
Health survey for England – This initiative is started for a series of annual survey about
the individual person who are living in England. This is used to make effective changes in
nation's health over the time.
1.3 Reasons for barriers to accessing Healthcare
Health care sectors need to use appropriate resources that help them to build awareness
properly in economy. Sometimes, different barriers and conflicts arise in health care sector
because of improper information and low understanding level. These barriers build negative
approach and issues in economy. There are some reasons are given below for accessing barriers
in health care sector such as -
Psychological barriers – These barriers are related to understanding level of individual
person about health supplements and its cause that negatively affecting on their lifestyles. For
this, it is important that foundation firms and their worker provide appropriate information to
people about smoking and its causes.
Rural areas limit education – Rural areas in a economy are highly suffering from those
negative things. Reason behind this is limited education and inappropriate knowledge of certain
things. For this, government needs to make different campaign for those rural areas where people
are addicted to these things.
Language barriers – These barriers also rise because of language issues that determine
as a label of language barriers supplements. Smoking is injurious for health and this is directly
mentioned on its label but individual who are not able to understand them can not realise its
negative impact on their life.
Cultural barriers – These barriers are determined because of various culture and its
issues that effects on their personal lifestyle. People who belong to different culture are follow
Cultural barriers in their lifestyle.

TASK 2
2.1 Links between government strategies and models of health promotion
For health and social care activity, it is very important to build promotional
initiative that increases knowledge of individual person and builds effective control to improve
health effectiveness easily. Through this process, a firm can easily build values for people to
protect them from different diseases and its negative approaches. In this process, it is very
important to spread specific information about causes and effects of different things that can
build negative approach in individual's life and their health as well. By raising awareness among
individual person about tobacco and smoking or its major consequences, different campaign
started and conducting as some vaccination programmes in specific country (Bert, 2014).
For this process, Government of United Kingdom conducting some health promotional
events to communicate with people about health activity which is embedded in larger cultural
and social practices that needs to be followed. By exploitation these kind of models, local bodies
and government can easily analyse present and past activities for encouraging these strategies in
such campaign and offering different services and personal counselling to individual person for
creating awareness everywhere easily. These models are conducted through legal authority and
with appropriate legislation that implement through effective approach of government bodies and
health care supplements.
There are different type of theorise and models are determine that are uses for health
promotion and social care activities. Theses kind of models are helps to understand health
behaviour and disease identification.
Ecological model – This model determine different level that influence in health
behaviour as interpersonal factor, individual factor, institutional and organisational factor,
community and public policy factors as well.
The health belief model – This model basically used to analyse appropriate changes in
individual's health behaviour. It is used to define different key factors that influence in health
behaviour and disease prevention.
Stage of changes model – This model describe individual's perception toward the
specific change in their behaviour. It is also elaborate through different kind of stages as
contemplation, pre- contemplation, action, preparation, maintenance and termination as well.

individual's health and their personal experience. This is helps to provide different opportunities
to others for observing and learning several changes easily.

behaviour. This is determine through two different models as individual's attitude toward the
behaviour and subjective norms toward the behaviour.
2.2 Role of professionals in meeting government targets for health promotion
For health care activities, it is very important to build and execute some strategies as a
health professional who works to spread appropriate information at specific place. Importance of
health care professional is very major because they are working in each and every sector which
needs to spread specific information and knowledge about health care issues and problems.
Health care professional needs to be effective in different skills, ability, personal and individual
understanding, decision making approach and effective control in different functions. As per this
topic, Tobacco uses are maximised in day to day activity of individual person's lifestyle so for
them, it is very important to understand its causes and negative effects that can be on individual's
life (Baum, 2016).
In some situation, smoking is also identified as the astronomical cause which makes
reasons of death rates among high standard and low standard people in a country. Individual
person can easily build standard routine for them to analyse health by involving different
elements as breakfast, positive activity towards each and every person, low level stress, listening
of music, proper sleep, wakeup earlier and effective control over the feeling and thought that
positively effect on individual's health. For human being, it is required to manage these kind of
routine to get effective outcomes and protect them from such negative things that can make
negative impact on their health. These types of routines can be hard to follow but they impact
positively on people's health (Goetzel, 2014).
Smoking cessation -

used to getting long period success in proper therapy. It has some side effects as dry mouth and
weight gain etc.
5

PU
Varenicline – This procedure basically uses for those individual who are nicotine addicted. It
reduce habitual impact on individuals of cigarette smoking and Tobacco products.
Nicotine replacement therapy – This is a mediation procedure with medically approved way to
take nicotine other than tobacco. It is helps to minimise habit of cigarette smoking aby some
behavioural techniques.
2.3 Role of routines in promoting healthy living
Routine activity of an individual helps to protect them from negative things that can
reduce their health care supplements directly. These kind of behaviour of health theory are used
to understand health content model for examine human behaviour. It is considered with some
factors that requires to communicate in an effective manner. These things help to promote health
and social care activities of individual person to analyse their personal and protection approach.
At this time period, an individual attempt their main role in critical manner for reducing stress
and pressure of working activity and to also examine standard of life by reduction negativity
health approach of their lifestyle. According to this report, individual person faces lots of
difficulties by going through these diseases that impact adversely on their health and life. For
them, it is very important to live positive and health life without any stress and other health
issues. Thus, for this, they need to use healthy routines and lifestyle that provide positivity in
their daily routine and protect them from different disease. There are some other factors are
given below that needs to be followed by individual person such as-
 Show their interest towards gaining specific knowledge about those factors that can
negatively affect their health and care (Lupton, 2014).
 Build a positive routine lifestyle that provides effectiveness.

routine activities. Exercise also play a most important role in promoting healthy living for
a individual person.
TASK 3
3.1 How health beliefs relate to theories of health behaviour
This model is explaining about different kind of theories that provide effectiveness to
people through their appropriate approaches. Health beliefs model determine about what kind of
changes happen in health and behaviour of unhealthy individual and what kind of impacts are go
on their psychology thinking during unhealthiness time period. Through this process a person
can easily analyse different kind of changes that affect on their life values and provide
improvement procedure that reflect direct impacts easily. In this process health beliefs and health
theorise provides direct impact on different issues that may affect their personal life style. A
health body always thing positively on different kind of areas and provide their effectuate
services easily. So for this it is very important that a person follow appropriate routine and avoid
addiction of alcohol, tobacco, drugs and smoking that can negatively affect on their life (Malik,
Blake and Suggs, 2014).
Health Belief Model – This model basically uses to develop health behaviour change to
improve health services. Main objective of this model is to solve individual's issues, suggest
them benefits and action, explain self efficiency and furthers elements.
Pre contemplation: This is first process of health and safety approach that consider
different type of factors as reading, thinking and behaving in different conditions.
Contemplation: This process determine a major impact of several changes in individuals
behaviour. In it a person get proper knowledge about further advantages and disadvantages.
Preparation: In this process, a person requires to take effective decision support to create
awareness and human behaviour.
Actions: In this process a individual requires to make effective decision for the
professional health care activities and terms as well.
3.2 Possible effects of potential conflicts with local industry on health promotion
For healthy society and nation, it is very important that all individual's follow effective
and lathe life style easily. For this health care organisations and government bodies can use
7

PU
advance technology to adopting effective services and build positive awareness easily. Some
routines activities of individual person also affecting negatively on individual's life style such as
improper diet, improper eating habits of peoples, stressful lifestyle and negative environment
approach. So in this process government bodies and privet committee needs to suggest that such
harmful ingredients should have to be removed from making procedure which is followed by
different kind of company's. Or in other hand, they also have to advised them about uses of new
products and goods an avoidance of packaging products that cane rapidly harm individual's life.
For this process it is also required to understand benefits of environmental changes on human
being life style to build positivity everywhere (Baum and Fisher, 2014).
In this process, governmental bodies and Health care authorities are also considering
about various issues and problems as well as to analyse its impactful solution. For this, they can
restrict unhealthy food that can impact adversely on human body. These kind of initiatives are
necessary to take proper actions for safety management approach. In this process food
production organisations can also provide their contribution by using healthy ingredients in each
product. In this food safety management authority of UK requires to inspect these organisations
on regularly bases.
3.3 The importance of providing relevant health related information to the public
This is duty of government bodies to protect lifestyle of individual. This is helps to
getting higher business advantages. It is important to provide health related information to each
and every person. In this process awareness program takes place that provide effective
information about each and every aspect that can affect negatively on lifestyle of people. For
this, it is requires to provide specific substance about health and social care issue that build
awareness among people. In this process each and every individual provide their contribution to
equip awareness about health supplements through conference, workshops, society curriculum
with each and every person and individuals of a nation. After these things, it is requires to
provide appropriate knowledge about unhealthy things to individual. Government bodies and
private authorities requires to provide their contribution in those initiatives. These kind of things
straightly impact on their health issues as well as on their financial status. It is require that
People understand negative and positive impacts of particular products that are available in the
market. In this procedure government and health care authorities needs to promote appropriate
