This unit will engage students in learning about evidence-based health promotion as a fundamental component of efforts to address sexual and reproductive health. The unit is divided into three sections: (i) Theories underlying health promotion in public health context; (ii) Evidence-based planning and project management in health promotion, and (iii) Behaviour change, health communication and health literacy. Theories covered will include those that address individual-level change and group and social-level change. Students will learn how to conduct needs assessments, plan programs, and address priority areas in sexual and reproductive health promotion. On completion of this unit, students will be able to: (i) Map population and/or community sexual and/or reproductive health needs; (ii) Plan evidence-based sexual and reproductive health promotion initiatives, and (iii) Identify evaluation strategies for evidence-based health promotion initiatives.
