Health education strategies
• Ten general principles of learning
(keep in mind before and during curriculum design)
1. Appeal to multiple senses (e.g., seeing, hearing, speaking).
2. Get the learner active in the learning process.
3. Limit distractions.
4. Make sure they are ready to learn.
5. Make the subject relevant to the participants.
6. Use repetition.
7. Make sure learning is recognized and encouraged.
8. Move from simple to complex concepts.
9. Make concept applicable to several settings, generalize.
10. Find an appropriate pace.
• Health education & health communication are not mutually
exclusive categories.
• Health education provides the opportunity to gain in-depth
knowledge about a particular health topic.
•
Curriculum
(course of study) – what is being taught
•
Scope
– refers to breadth & depth of material
•
Sequence
– order in which the material is presented
•
Units of study
– "An orderly, self-contained collection of
activities educationally designed to meet a set of objectives.
Other terms for this are curriculum plans, modules, and
strands” (Gilbert et al., 2011, p. 188).
• Kinzie's (2005) modification of Gagne's "Events of
Instruction"
1. Gain attention (convey heath threats & benefits).
2. Present stimulus material (tailor message to audience knowledge and values, demonstrate observable effectiveness, make behaviors easy to understand and do).
3. Provide guidance (use trustworthy models to demonstrate).
4. Elicit performance and provide feedback (for proficiency and self efficacy).
5. Enhance retention and transfer (social support & behavioral cues).
Environmental Change Strategies
Have been most useful in providing "opportunities, support, and cues to help people develop healthier behaviors" (Brownson, Haire-Joshu, & Luke, 2006, p. 342).
• They help remove barriers to change in the environment.
• Removing environmental barriers often helps to make the healthier choice the easier choice.
• Environmental change strategies are characterized by changes "around" individuals and are not limited to the physical environment.

• Service environment
•
accessibility to health care or patient educa ...
