Hey guys, i need a bit of help with a couple questions
1. What is the role of VicHealth in promoting health? 2 marks
That question is too vague for VCAA. I'd probs think about their mission, priorities, and programs, and be like 'they aim to promote good health through supporting health promotion strategies in workplaces, schools and the broader community, targeting especially issues like healthy eating, physical activity, mental health, tobacco and alcohol...', and then it's like totally up to you whether you give examples of these programs, or how they impact health, or w/e. Give enough random details about VicHealth's role and you'll get the marks! (As I said, way too vague).
2. Describe how an NGO promotes sustainable human development. 3 marks
- With this question, i'm not sure whether to link it to a program and say something like World Vision Australia implemented a HIV/Aids program in Zambia..... or to be broad and say they provide education etc which promotes shd.
Either should be fine, I'd probably go with more specific, but if you explain 1-2 examples of what they do and how this promotes SHD (specifically), you'll be fine.
3. And i'm not sure what to say when questions say 'justify' a reason why a health promotion program was implemented (in regards to NHPA's)
As simple as, why do we need this program (what are our problems)?
- link to the reasons why the NHPA was selected, especially the specific conditions that that health promotion program addresses (i.e. what are the problems? why is it important that we fix them?)
- explain how the program would improve or fix this
