Public health interventions at policy Coursework

Public health interventions at policy - Coursework Example 3.  Bartholomew, Parcel, Kok, & Gottlieb, (2011), discuses: Design process applied to health promotion should be clear and systematic to enable understanding of the health conditions, causes and solutions. It should include what needs to be done, where, who needs to change and the specific changes that need to occur. Also of importance is the involvement of the local communities in the design process. Planning of a health promotion on the other end should involve setting out the goals, what is needed to reach the set out goals, the implementers and how the health promotion will be evaluated. Implementation process as well needs to have the community involved and continuous assessment of the activities to ensure they achieve the set out goals. Evaluations applied to health promotions involves undertaking systematic reviews targeting effectiveness of the social, physical and health interventions in addition to evaluating the health policies, health impacts among other specific interv entions.   Moreover, the evaluation carried out should be based on evidence and thus distinguish between its own fidelity to failure and the failure of the intervention itself.Qualitative assessment will gather information aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of the interventions and thus can inform theory as well as practice and situations. As such, qualitative assessment allows identification of new ways intervention and enables deeper understanding of the issues. Quantitative assessment on the other end focuses much on describing the issues.
