LUNG CANCER 3Lung CancerIntroductionLung cancer is becoming a burden to Australian health care system and the indigenous population. The Aboriginal and Torres Islander people have higher chances of being diagnosed with lung cancer than the non-indigenous people. This paper aims to develop a health promotion plan for lung cancer targeting indigenous population. The assignment will discuss the target group and why the health plan will be beneficial to the selected group. Additionally, it will discuss the goals of the plan, stakeholder involvement, health promotion activity and evaluation strategies. Target Group OutlineThe target group for this health promotion plan is indigenous population aged between 15years and 55 years. This group has been selected due to various fundamental factors. First, the prevalence of lung cancer is high among the indigenous population in the selected age bracket. Based on a recent study, there is a higher prevalence of lung cancer among indigenous Australians aged less than 55 years. In fact, the study found that 41% of cases of cancer occur in the indigenous population [ CITATION Gar17 \l 1033 ]. Second, the indigenous Australians have high rates of particular lifestyle risk factors such as tobacco smoking. These risk factors are attributable to the high incidences of lung cancer and death rates in this age group [ CITATION Rep \l 1033 ]. The high prevalence of lung cancer is mainly associated with the high incidences of tobacco smoking. It has been found that approximately 39% of the indigenous Australians aged 15 years smoke daily [ CITATION AIH17 \l 1033 ]. This rate is about three times higher compared to the non-indigenous population.

LUNG CANCER 4Health Promotion (Outline why this public health promotion is beneficial for theAustralian population)Health promotion for the target group will be beneficial since it will reduce the disease burden, mortality rates linked to lung cancer and the high cost of caring for lung cancer patients. A report published in 2013, shows that indigenous people diagnosed with lung cancer were 50% more likely to die compared to non-indigenous patients. The death rates for this population groupdue to lung cancer were 40% for men and 60% for females. At the same year, most of the deaths associated with lung cancer occurred in the population aged less than 55 years [ CITATION Rep \l 1033 ]. In 2014, it was found that lung cancer was the leading cause of deaths in Australia and will continue to cause more deaths in 2017. Approximately, 8,251 Australians died due to lung cancer in 2014. The number of deaths associated with lung cancer is expected to be 9,021 by the end of 2017. In 2017, it is approximated that the chances of a person dying from lung cancer by their 85th birthday are one in 23 [ CITATION Can17 \l 1033 ]. Besides, the cancerous cells can create a malignant tumour that has the chances of invading and damaging the area around it and spreading to other parts of the body via the lymphatic system or bloodstream. In case the spread of these tumours is left uncontrolled, they might result in death. Also, the costs of treating and caring for individuals with cancer are high. One study found that average cost of managing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) were A$10,675 and A$14,799 respectively [ CITATION Kan121 \l 1033 ]. Health Promotion GoalsThe health promotion plan for the indigenous Australians aged between 15 and 55 years will aim to reduce the prevalence of lung cancer and its complications such as hemoptysis, pleural effusion and metastasis [ CITATION Far13 \l 1033 ]. Specifically, the plan will have an
