Context
Public Health promotion programs are designed to improve the health of their target community. Effective public health promotion programs are the cornerstone to good population health. The success of these programs depends upon multiple factors, such as, understanding the target community, assessing the needs of that community, and applying the knowledge for needs assessment of the given community. These skills are essential for public health professionals to develop effective and sustainable programs for their chosen field. This assessment will give students the opportunity to plan a health promotion program in an area of their interest by applying their knowledge of community public health, community engagement and application of health promotion theories and frameworks.
