Health Promotion and Population Health

Population health is the focus for many health systems in recent years. Population health outcomes are becoming more specific and attention is now shifted upstream, as health impact at population level is greater than at individual level. Recent research evidence suggests that health promoting activities and health education messages must be predicated on established health behaviour change models or theories. In this module, students learn the appropriate public health terminology in relation to population health outcomes, and to integrate various branches of sciences to effect health promotion, disease prevention and overall positive population outcomes.
