This section will demonstrate the considerations you will need to make to implement your program
into your community. It will look at the framework you have based your processes on, the ‘Who,
Where, When and Why’ factors that you need to address when presenting or delivering your
program. You will need to consider the decisions being made as to how you wish to make the best
impact through your program design.
Note: One-line explanation of each model i.e., Health belief model, Stages of Change and Ottawa
charter but utilising Ottawa charter (WHO).
Minimum of 4 References.
Question 1:
What health promotion model or models is the
program going to utilise and why?
(Eg: Health Belief Model, Stages of Change,
Ottawa Charter, etc?)
The HBM or Health Belief Model is a mental
model aimed at explaining and predicting
behaviours (Green & Murphy, 2014). The Stages
of Change is not a theory but a model; different
behavioural theories and constructs can be used
in different stadiums of the model in which they
can be most effective (Prochaska, Redding &
Evers, 2015). A global health landmark, the

Ottawa Charter, continues to be a main
reference for promotion of health. The charter
sets out five health promotion components and
health requirements, including shelter, peace,
education, income, food, a stable ecosystem,
renewable resources, social equity and justice
(Thompson, Watson & Tilford 2018).
In this regard, the stags of change model will be
used for the promotion of this model.
Question 2:
What is the setting/supportive environment
where your program will take place? Is this the
most appropriate given your target population?
Why?
(What venue/location will you use? How will it
be accessed? What facilities are required, etc?)
The target population for this program are the
kids and the goals are to increase the veggie
uptake among those population. Therefore,
parents of the Kids, and their household also be
included as well as the kindergarten and
primary school care. Kids at this age spend most
of the time in their household; hence it should
be included in the promotional program.
Question 3:
What individual health education (or personal
skills) need to be considered? What knowledge
deficits do you need to address?
(What education is needed or gap in knowledge
recognised? For Whom? Why?)
The knowledge gap that is present is the
present understanding about the effect of
vegetable that has on the development of the
kids overall growth. Most of the people from
kid’s household are not aware of this particular
aspect including their parents. Therefore, this
particular aspect should be addressed
particularly in this health promotional program
(Larsen et al., 2015).
Question 4:
What other stakeholders need to be involved in
your program? And why?
(Who else could be involved? How might they
contribute?)
Community Elderly, parents and teachers will be
participated in these health promotional
activities. Apart from them, government and
local community authority should be involved.
Government initiative can help this program get
bigger exposure as well as necessary funding
whereas local community authority can help
this program by organising and promoting the
promotional plan (Eldredge et al., 2016).
