Section 1: Community Needs:
Respond to the following questions including the rationale for your decisions:
- Who is your target group? (Who are the people that will benefit from your program? Is it a specific population (age, sex, ethnicity) group, geographical location, people at risk, people living with a particular disease etc? What are the key characteristics of this target group?)
- What health issue is the focus for your project? (What evidence exists to support a focus on this health issue? Why is this health issue likely to be important to your target group?)
Section 2: Social determinants:
Respond to the following questions including the rationale for your decisions:
- What social determinants have contributed to the health issue that is the focus of your project? (What are the "upstream factors" or the "causes of the causes"? Why are these social factors of particular concern for your target group? What evidence is there that describes the impact of these social determinants for your target group? )
- How does your project address one or more of these social determinants? (How will your project lessen the impact of these social determinants for your target group? What evidence is there to suggest that this project will be effective in addressing the social determinants eg has this kind of approach been used in similar situations or is there something about the design of your project that has been used elsewhere?)
Section 3: Health promotion principles:
Respond to the following questions including the rationale for your decisions:
- What strategies will be used in your project? (What will you do to achieve the goal of your program? Why have you chosen these
strategies? How do these strategies reflect the principles of health promotion frameworks such as Working in Health Promoting Ways (Tas DHHS) and World Health Organisation documents such as the Ottawa Charter, Jakarta Declaration and the Bangkok Declaration? )
- Who is involved with implementing your project and what are their roles? (How will you involve others such as the community or target group? Who will be your partners and what will their roles be? Explain why is it important to involve these people by referring to health promotion principles)
Section 4: Enacting Primary Health Care:
Respond to the following questions including the rationale for your decisions:
- How does your project put primary health care into practice? (How does your project reflect primary health care as a philosophy, level of care, set of activities or way of organising services (Vouri, 1984)? You might discuss how your project represents comprehensive or selective primary health care.)
- How will you know that your project has been effective? (How will you evaluate your project? What kind of information will you collect and who will you collect it from? Why is it important to know if a project has been effective, particularly when working from a primary health care perspective?)
