Conclusions This is the section that will clearly establish the need for an intervention. Compare local data to the national or international data from the research wiki. Categorise information where possible, use the social justice principles, social determinants of health and Ottawa Charter Action Areas for this. Only discuss what is necessary to establish your need. If you determine only one social justice principle is needed, go with that. Thursday, 9 October 2008 Health Education 2008-2009
