1. Introduction. The Introduction should briefly describe the program/intervention in terms of the goal/s, behavioural risk factor and related health issue/s being addressed, and relevant details of the target population. This section should also include contextual details (e.g., social, cultural and environmental context) relevant to the program’s intervention as well as details of the geographical location if relevant.
2. Target Population Needs. Discuss the needs of the specific target population which have informed the imperative to prioritise the implementation of the health promotion program/ intervention so as to modify the behavioural risk factor and thereby reduce the prevalence of any associated health issue/s. Relevant and substantiated evidence and data associated with these identified needs is required to support your discussion.
3. Ottawa Charter. Identify and further discuss which action areas of the Ottawa Charter have informed the design and implementation of this program/intervention. In relation to each action area of the Ottawa Charter identified, describe the corresponding specific strategies and how and where each of these have been delivered. Analyse the effectiveness of each of these strategies in terms of contributing to risk behaviour modification in the target population and the outcomes of this program/intervention.
4. Partnership Approach. Discuss any evidence that this program/intervention has adopted a partnership approach in its planning and implementation. In terms of the principles underpinning the partnership approach to health promotion, analyse how this program/intervention has exemplified this approach. If the program/intervention that you are critiquing has not adopted a partnership approach, propose whether this approach had the potential to enhance the program/intervention’s delivery, and outcomes. Provide an evidence-based argument for your proposal.
5. Recommendations. Conclude your critique of this program/intervention by providing recommendations of how any aspects of this program/intervention could be designed or implemented to deliver on the prescribed outcomes more effectively.
