Aim-
Topic- To design health promotion in the intervention to control substance abuse use of alcohol
in adolescent.
Introduction-
Health is basically created and lived by individual people within setting of their everyday
life, they can learn, work. Play and love things. Health promotion is one of the important aspect
in which consider an importance of positively involving different relevant settings and
stakeholders in the intervention target group. In order to promote competence-based, action-
oriented, sustainable health and also prevent severe health inequalities. It is all about the way in
which promote the health across multitude of settings, thereby increasing the complexity of
different approaches. At some point, it will be increasing the demand of complexity-oriented,
interpreting and structuring the way in which result or outcomes are processed, managed and
implemented in proper manner. In this report, it will be design a setting-based intervention to use
screening process and identify the level of consumption of alcoholic drinks in Adolescent.
it would be used the principle in health promotional activities and always maintain the
prevention (Bang and et.al., 2018). Underlying the principle in the term of fundamental
assumption which means that identify the existence of humans and influenced by social,
economic cultural aspects. Contemporary health problems are basically embedded in societal
structure. This means that lifestyle and its health related consequences cannot be treated as
independently of living conditions. It must needed to apply a suitable intervention and improve
the lifestyle and living condition of targeted people such as children’s. Nowadays, it become
obvious thing that increases a lot of health related issues among children’s. This is because due
to lack of awareness among parents, guardians.
Health promotion is becoming relevant today than ever in addressing the actual public health
problems due to use of substance abuse such as Alcohol. The health scenario is usually
positioned at unique crossroads as the entire work is facing a triple burden of disease constituted
3

by unfinished agenda of diseases among children’s. it is newly emerging and re-emerging
disease, unprecedented rise of non-communicable chronic diseases. There are different factors
which aid progress and development in today’s scenario such as globalization trade, ease of
global travel and advanced technologies etc. The problem may be arises because adolescent
children’s has been followed unhealthy lifestyle. There is high level of prevalence of Alcohol use
along with increases level of unhealthy dietary practices. Therefore, it is directly affecting the
physical activities and contribute to increase the biological risk factors. On the other hand, the
adverse effect of climate change, increasing frequency of occurrences of natural disaster and
security threats. There are becoming consider a major challenges where adolescent children face
health related issue or problem.
Evaluation of health promotion related Intervention
Health promotion is not a new conceptual termed. It is the fact about the health determined
by different factors not only within health sector. As per evaluating the health promotion related
intervention which means that interact or communicate with adolescents, his or her parents
regarding awareness. With the help of setting-based intervention, it can be developed or designed
the movement in between individuals, who can understand the importance of intervention
approach.
History of health promotion
In 19th century, it has been introduced theory of disease but it had not yet established. The
causes of health issues among adolescent children’s due to lack of education, poor living
condition so that it contributed towards disease and death. The concept of health promotion was
coined in 1945 by Henry E. Sigerist, he was great medical historian who are majorly define
different tasks in context of promotional activities of health, prevention of illness. His statement
was promoted the decide standards living style of individual people. health promotion occurs in
context of education in which provide the better guidance for adolescent children where they can
identify the right or wrong. At this age group of children can use alcoholic substances (Bond,
Weston and Barker, 2017). Therefore, it is directly affecting health condition of adolescent. In
4

this way, it is important aspect in order to promote the health promotional activities. This can
help for educating the parents in regards of their children health condition and gain more
knowledge. Sometimes, it is also linked with combination of learning experiences and designed
to help people and communities improve their health. By increasing their knowledge and
influencing their attitudes. At that time, health promotion takes some necessary steps in order to
involve various players and focus on the multi-sector approaches.
Health promotion has become consider much broader perspective and it is turned to
respond towards developments, which have established a direct or indirect bearing on health
such as inequalities, change the pattern in consumption, environmental and cultural belief etc.
Intervention to health promotion-
Health promotion is basically putting some efforts and directed towards priority of health
condition involves in large population. At some point, it is also promoting the various kind of
interventions.
As per analysis, it has identified the consumption of alcoholic drinks by adolescent. it
mainly focused on designed an intervention regarding health promotion. It should be considered
issue-based approach that will help to support by setting appropriate design pattern in health
promotional activities such as implemented independently of capacity of building in health care
services. By using intervention, it will help to perform screening & early detection of limited
value. This kind of technique is used intervention and design to target adolescent who can use
alcoholic drinks (Bougea, Spantideas and Chrousos, 2018).
The setting-based intervention can be implemented in School children’s and identify the
priority of health problem by taking into account of complex health determinants such as
behaviour and practices etc. Setting- based intervention can be designed to facilitate integration
of health promotion actions into social activities.
By using conceptual framework, it can be used in Setting based intervention which plays
important role in the health promotion. Generally, it is targeting the group of people like
adolescent and his or her family members.

Afterwards, It would provide the better guidance and suggestion related the use of alcohol,
because it has already increasingly demand of alcohol among adolescent. The targeted audiences
such as adolescent, to interact or communicate. It provide the more awareness about the
consequences of alcohol.
Figure 1 Conceptual framework for health promotion
Implementing the setting based intervention in the health Promotion-
As per consideration of Setting-based intervention, it can be designed for purpose to
target the adolescent about the health condition.
As per identified the certain kind of health issues among adolescent children’s and needs
for improvement of which was recognised as critical to the development.. Although it is not
enough to acknowledge at the certain point. Health promotion will help to provide the awareness
among people where each and every people can understand the global disease burden and
mortality (Chen, 2017). It is largely preventable concept by effective or feasible public health
6

intervention. It is always supports for handling risk factors;- use of alcohol. On the other hand,
the important role played by setting based intervention to provide the awareness of health
consequences, if adolescent can use alcohol on regular basis.
Usually, adolescent is not aware about the consequences of alcohol. Therefore, it will be
developing health problem adolescents. In this way, it has focused on the setting based
intervention approach in health promotion activities. this would include and providing the better
accessibility and encouraging the people on regular basis. Health promotion is helping to provide
the certain kind of action in regards of health improvement and then remove barriers to the
uptake of alcohols prevention strategies.
This kind of non-communicable diseases are majorly occurred when uses of harmful
substance like consumption of alcohols. Nowadays, Adolescent group children’s are easily
attracted towards alcohols etc. in this way, it is directly affecting the current lifestyle of children.
Health promotion is basically supported to associate with excess alcoholic as involved vascular,
respiratory disease. For example- Cardiovascular Diseases are becoming consider the most
common problem which is mainly identified among adolescence (Farre and et.al., 2018). With
the help of health promotion, it has been implementing a suitable strategy and focus on the
reduction intake of high saturated fat and salt intake, increase the consumption of vegetables etc.
Additionally, it may be examined the risk factor of heart attack.

Design a Setting based Intervention health Promotion-
On the basis of health promotion, it will be designed setting based intervention in which
increases the level of consequences among adolescent because of alcohol. Local agencies,
government are emerging with setting based intervention. This can help to perform various kind
of health promotional activities at schools, in order to build an awareness among people at
school children.
It emphasizing on the advantage or benefit to health as well as education. If it is needed that
school implemented health policies and monitoring activities of adolescent children (Räisänen
and Parkkari, 2018). Therefore, it can easily identify the consumption of alcohol at homes.
Schools. This can possible through approaches of health promotion in order to represent the idea,
assumption and belief about health condition of children’s.
Essay
Topic- To design health promotion in the intervention to control substance abuse use of alcohol
in adolescent.
Introduction
Setting based intervention refers to the health promotion awareness program, aim is to
engage with empower individuals and communities to identify health behaviour of Adolescent.
On the basis of promotional activities, It has been examined the significant changes that help for
reducing risk of developing Chronic Disease and other morbidities. Majorly, it can be defined by
WHO, health promotion enables individual people to increase control over their own health
condition. in additional, it has been identified the role of educating people of the future, schools
today respond to other social needs of adolescent children, especially in promoting health
condition. School is a place where young people thinking through different social situation. In
order to deal with complex issues or problem.
Different kind of health promotion intervention implemented within communities and
highlights much evidence, both in relation to specific health issue or problem. Generally, health
promotion concept is applied in healthy eating and nutrition level of children’s. Even it just
8

mentioned in different areas and understand the concept of promotion intervention. At certain
level, health promotion interventions are basically attempt to approach and fulfil all essential
need or requirement for adolescent children.
In this documentation, it is mainly focused on the concept of health promotion with the
help of setting-based intervention. This can help for developing an awareness among large
populations. On the basis of health promotion approaches, it will be targeting the Adolescent
Children’s those are majorly facing a health related issue or problem, after consumption of
alcohols. So as, studies about the setting-based intervention in context of health promotion.
usually, it can be used in the health promotion programmes. in order to inspire or motivate the
parents of children’s, who are participating into health promotion program and improve their
own understanding. Therefore, it will be protecting their adolescent children from harmful
substances and health issues.
Outline the scope of research topic
This research will involve design health promotion in the intervention to control
substance abuse use of alcohol in adolescent. In this research critical awareness of different
important interventions, but it will be selecting a setting based intervention that help to find the
background of health promotion. Health promotion in this research will cover area related to
design a setting based intervention which may provide awareness of health promotion.
Communicable diseases are those that are caused by infectious agents and non-
communicable diseases will involve use of substances and specially those who are not
transmitted from one person to another. In this research awareness about these diseases in terms
of how they develop and what are symptoms of these diseases and what stigmas are associated
with different types of diseases. Mainly basic knowledge about these diseases will be analysed
through research and including what are treatments available and how these diseases can be
prevented. In these artefacts will be communicated and justification for the artefacts design in
terms of how they fit in terms of health promotion concepts and measures of health will be
included. Research will be carried out using existing data and health promotion concepts and
9

measures of health will be discussed in report. Later design of artefact and how it will overcome
identified barriers to health will also be involved in discussion. Overall this essay will involve
discussion regarding knowledge of communicable and non-communicable diseases and will
develop health promotion concepts and measures of health.
In additional, the scope of research topic is that identified the past history of different
health promotion program. It may support for researcher to setup a disease prevention goals and
then considerable as better actions. On the basis of health promotion strategies, it is useful to
identify the diseases prevention services as those primarily concentrated with health. Through
study, it has been examined that health promotion services are depended on the intersectoral
action and concerned with social determinants of health (Sapthiang Van Gordon and Shonin,
2019). The scope of topic is to uses existing theories of health promotion, setting based
intervention and help to find better solution post-exposure prophylazis of children, adults. The
provision aspect to gain more information in behavioral and medical health risks. Afterwards, it
become easier for measuring the reduce risk at children health condition.
Brief Description of key features of artefact
Within research study, the artefact is related to the invention of humans and uses an
appropriate strategies in context of public health promotion. In order to measure, predict and
analyse the different health issue or problem examined among targeted audience such as
Adolescent children. The key feature of artefact in this study to suggest as core information
about health promotion programmes, which is mainly created by healthcare practitioners for
social communities. It is always supported for investigator to encourage towards depth analysis
the background concept of health promotion (Sapthiang Van Gordon and Shonin, 2019). Fact,
figures of artefact continue to receive only limited attention. Thus, it exists with foundation to
delineate and applicable suitable theories or approaches.
The key features of Artefact in conceptual term of setting based intervention in health
promotion which means that will use an effective framework that can utilise the multiple threat,
risks factors of adolescent health condition. On the basis of evidence, it has been developed a
10

suitable framework builds on multi-faceted theoretical paradigm of systems thinking from which
can derive different manner. in the research study, the key feature of artefact is that when using
appropriate digitalization technique to promote awareness among people in regards of health or
safety aspect. It is all about the way in which determine the importance of new strategies
implementation. It is helping to analyse the certain kind of health related issues among
adolescent children, and also identify actual reason behind them.
Targeted group
Targeted group in this essay is adolescents children and their knowledge regarding
communicable disease will be analysed. In addition to this, adolescents children are also likely to
get indulge in consumption and addiction of alcohol and they are also likely to get addicted to
alcohol. This is why it is important to analyse their knowledge about what impact these addictive
and harmful substance can make on health and wellbeing of adolescents children. Alcohol and
use is among most health issues experienced by adolescents children and this is why they have
been considered as target group. It is an important health issue for adolescents children and this
is why this is also a reason for them to be considered as targeted group for the topic selected for
this study. Specific aspects of health for this targeted group involves use of substance in which
adolescents can get addicted by alocohol and which can cause several other diseases and
illnesses in adolescents children. In addition to this their psychological health can also get
affected by use of addictive and harmful substance. In this health promotion physical health of
adolescents that gets affected by use of addictive and harmful substance and also impact of
communicable diseases will be focused on. This is because communicable and non-
communicable diseases primarily impact physical health of adolescents children and can
deteriorate their overall health. Non-communicable diseases include alcoholism, use as non
communicable diseases include those caused by damage.
11

Artefact would be communicated or used
In context of health promotion, there are different artefact measures on the basis of
evidence and also identify their significant roles. Basically, different artefact should be covered
all kind of health promotion strategies, targeted audience, health issue or problems. These are not
only supports for influencing individual, community in context of decisions that enhance current
health condition of adolescent children’s. Afterwards, it would be implementing an appropriate
prevention approaches in order to minimise risk level. Whenever, it should be gathered or
collected large amount of data about health promotion approaches but the most important thing is
to predict as soon as possible. Therefore, it become easier for protecting the children from
chronic diseases.
In this study, The Artefact would be communicated and used through expression,
experience of human thoughts, belief and assumption. It is completely depended on the
documentary, advertisement, arts, exchange of media and etc. these are different ways to uses a
proper artefact regarding health promotion. For Example- there are different kind of Social
workers agencies introduce several awareness program. It must ensure that parents can identify
the causes of adolescent children health condition. This can possible when individual people
participating into different health promotion program. In this way, large number of populations
are improving a knowledge about chronic diseases, which is directly affecting health condition
and generate different consequences.
Justification for Artefact design: - how does this fit within health promotion concept and measure
of health condition.
It has been justified that Artefact design patterns plays important role in context of health
promotion and measurement of health condition. The reason behind is that when evolving
towards more decentralised patient-empower and holistic approaches. Artefact has been shown
the entire framework where how it would be provided the better opportunities for individual
people. Therefore, they can easily identify the major consequences of health problem.
