PHE5INH 2019 - Integrated Health Promotion Presentation Analysis

This presentation critically examines the 'Live Life Well' (LLW) initiative within the context of Integrated Health Promotion (IHP). It begins by defining IHP and its goals, emphasizing the Ottawa Charter's five action areas and three strategies. The presentation then analyzes LLW's strengths, such as its relevance to current health challenges and its focus on lifestyle factors, while also addressing its weaknesses, including public awareness and health inequalities. The theoretical frameworks underpinning the effectiveness of LLW, such as planning, resource availability, and specialist advice, are thoroughly explored. Key issues in IHP, including collaboration, networking, and the appropriate mix of quality care promotion are discussed, alongside an examination of stakeholders and partners. The presentation concludes by analyzing contemporary policy debates and limitations to the effectiveness of LLW. The presentation highlights the importance of health promotion in guiding IHP planning and emphasizes the need for stakeholder participation to address healthcare challenges. The presentation is based on a PHE5INH assignment from La Trobe University.

effectiveness. These include;
 Planning
 Availability of Resources
 Proper priority identification

Poor Planning
Intensification of
integration needs
proper planning
Planning covers- vision,
problem identification,
generation of solution ,
capacity building, and
evaluation
Poor planning results to
lack of flow in the above
aspects

- To guide planning for solution
generation
five categories involved include;
- screening relevant risk factor
assessments
