hypothetical health promotion plan

Develop a hypothetical health promotion plan, 3 pages in length, addressing a specific health
concern for an individual or a group living in the community.

This assessment is the foundation for the implementation of your health promotion
educational plan (Assessment 4).

To complete your hypothetical health promotion plan, please use the following outline to

guide your work:

Health Promotion Plan

● To begin, first select a health issue or need that will be the focus of your

assessment from the Health Promotion Plan [PDF]

● After you select a specific health concern or health need from the resource

above, next investigate the concern or need and best practices for health

improvement, based on supporting evidence.

● Create a scenario as if this project were being completed face-to-face.

● Identify the chosen population and include demographic data (location,

lifestyle, age, race, ethnicity, gender, marital status, income, education,

employment).

● Describe in detail the characteristics of your chosen hypothetical individual

or group for this activity and how they are relevant to this targeted

population.

● Discuss why your chosen population is predisposed to this health concern

or health need and why they can benefit from a health promotion

educational plan.

● Based on the health concern for your hypothetical individual or group,

discuss what you would include in the development of a sociogram. Take

into consideration possible social, economic, cultural, genetic, and/or

lifestyle behaviors that may have an impact on health as you develop your

educational plan in your first assessment. You will take this information into

consideration when you develop your educational plan in your fourth

assessment.

● Identify their potential learning needs. Collaborate with the individual or

group on SMART goals that will be used to evaluate the educational

session (Assessment 4).

● Identify the individual or group’s current behaviors and outline clear

expectations for this educational session and offer suggestions for how the

individual or group needs can be met.

● Health promotion goals need to be clear, measurable, and appropriate for

this activity. Consider goals that will foster behavior changes and lead to the

desired outcomes.
