Health Promotion

Program Overview

Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over and improve their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behavior towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions. Health promotion specialists work to change policies and environments, as well as attitudes and behaviors that affect health. Health promotion specialists learn about their communities, plan health-related programs, put those programs into action, and then measure the program's success. Health Promotion uses communication, education, policy development, behavior change, engineering, and community mobilization.
