Foundations of Health Education
2
Key Concepts / Review
  • What is Health?
  • Gold Standard Definition
  • A dynamic state of complete physical, mental,
    spiritual and social well-being and not merely
    the absence of disease or infirmity.
  • (WHO)
  • a dynamic state or condition of a human organism
    that is multidimensional in nature, a resource
    for living, and results from a persons
    interactions with and adaptations to his or her
    environments
  • (McKenzie, Pinger Kotecki, 2008, p. 6)

3
Where does all of this stem from?
  • What does the current health care system focus
    on?
  • Communicable diseases
  • Noncommunicable diseases
  • Most causes of death stem from modifiable
    behaviors.
  • Multicausation Disease Model
  • Focuses on noncommunicable diseases
  • Genetics
  • Behavior
  • Environment
  • Social Circumstances
  • Access to Care

Current Status of Health Education/Promotion
  • 21st Century Behavioral patterns are the
    single most prominent domain of influence over
    health prospects in the United States (McGinnis
    et al., 2002, p. 82)

Why is prevention important?
  • Many of the health problems the nation will deal
    with in the balance of this century and into the
    next are fully preventable.
  • (Minelli and Breckon, 2009, pg. 21)
  • Cessation of tobacco use, moderate use of
    alcohol, daily exercise, and good nutrition can
    prevent literally millions of deaths and negate
    the need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars
    on health care.
  • (Minelli and beckon, 2009, pg 21)

Key Players
  • Secretary of Health Human Services
  • ___________________
  • Our Goal for all Americans to live healthier,
    more prosperous, and more productive lives.

  • U.S. Surgeon General
  • ______________________
  • Americans will be more likely to change their
    behavior if they have a meaningful reward
    something more than just reaching a certain
    weight or dress size. The real reward is
    invigorating, energizing, joyous health. It is a
    level of health that allows people to embrace
    each day and live their lives to the fullest
    without disease or disability.
