Health Promotion Strategy Plan for USC Public Health Programs

This assignment presents a strategy plan for USC Public Health Programs, focusing on developing a comprehensive strategy portfolio for health promotion. The plan uses a framework, such as the Ottawa Charter Action Areas, to identify domain/action areas and relevant strategies. For each strategy, the plan includes supporting research evidence and alignment with setting-specific guidelines, principles, frameworks, models, or underlying settings theory and values. Specific strategies are detailed for areas like creating supportive environments, developing personal skills, strengthening community action, building healthy public policy, and re-orienting health services, with examples including cultural competence training, upgraded diagnostic tests, community awareness programs, free medication, and improved treatment techniques. The overall aim is to enhance public health outcomes through targeted and evidence-based interventions.

STRATEGY PLAN TABLE
This table supports the development of a comprehensive strategy portfolio for Assessment Task 2b.
The strategies must then be included in your poster, although the format may be different to the
table below. However, you may like to keep these comprehensive notes as reference for yourself in
the Week 12 poster presentation.
In the ‘Changing Settings’ analysis, you have identified the framework that you will use to guide the
development of a strategy portfolio for your setting.
Please complete the ‘Strategy Plan’ table by:
1. Entering the domain/action areas from the framework you have identified (the Ottawa
Charter Action Areas have been entered into this table as an example)
2. Identifying and describing a minimum of 2 strategies per domain/action that are relevant to
your setting
3. Stating the research evidence that supports inclusion of the strategy
4. Aligning the strategies to other setting-specific guidelines, principles, frameworks, models or
underlying settings theory and values as additional justification of your choices (where
relevant)
