Syllabus This unit is an introduction to the principles of Health Promotion as a theoretical foundation for contemporary practice, policy and research in Australia and globally. Critical concepts in health promotion are explored including: historical contexts and developments; key frameworks and theory underpinning health promotion; health promotion in action; evidence-informed health promotion practice; the health promotion process, ethics and the role of health promotion in public health.

Introduction Welcome to HLPR6013 Introduction to Health Promotion (Fully Online)

The unit has been designed to give post-graduate students an overview of the critical role health promotion plays in the deployment of public health research, policies, and practice. Throughout the semester, we will examine together with a critical lens theoretical foundations, critical concepts, historical contexts, key frameworks, evidence-informed practice, and ethical considerations of health promotion. Through virtual dialogue, you will develop the critical thinking skills to develop a rationale supporting the need for health promotion, apply key principles, practices and theory of health promotion and critically assess programs and processes with foci on the evidence-base and ethical practice.

Health Promotion is an exciting, dynamic and complex field which often serves as the face of public health. We look forward to sharing passions for and insights into the discipline to better inform your own practice as a multi-disciplinary public health professional.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Curtin's Graduate Attributes

On successful completion of this unit students can: Graduate Attributes addressed

1 Justify the role of health promotion in public health

Learning Activities External (Fully Online) Study Mode

The weekly workshops and online modules are designed to allow students to explore, analyse, and discuss the concepts detailed in presentations and readings. They will comprise a range of practical activities including group problem solving and discussion via Facebook, practical skill development, exploration of case studies, guest speakers and watching videos/films.

To maximise the potential learning of this unit for both the individual and the class as a whole, it is essential that students complete the required readings BEFORE engaging in online discussions. This will enhance the level of group discussion and engagement.

This unit with involve a combination of learning styles. Learning is an active process that requires your full participation for maximising gains. The purpose of the mixed teaching modes is not to tell you what you need to know, but rather faciliate lifelong learning and inquiry practices and to challenge you to find information that is based on evidence and sound reasoning from which to critically formulate understanding of and persuasive arguments for health promotion within the broader public health context. The material provided to you will be supported through online and self-directed learning activities. Each type of learning format presents the material differently, meaning you will have the opportunity to build on the knowledge each time you approach it through a different teaching delivery mechanism.

Other resources Facebook Social media plays an increasingly important role in the world of health promotion and public health. A vast majority of public health and health-related organisations have a social media presence which serves a multitude of purposes, from sharing organisational information to being an integrated aspect of a health promotion campaign. The social lives of many of today's intended receipients of health promotion programs are constructed and reconstructed via social media, making it integral to addressing many of todays health disaprities. Within Australia, Facebook is the primary and dominant social media platform. The unit will use a secret Facebook page to facilitate communication and discussion throughout the semester as well as serve the experential learning of social media use in a professional manner. All students are required to be linked in to the Facebook group. Basic content such as reading materials, activities, assessments, and videos will be provided via Blackboard, though much of the online unit will occur via our Facebook page.

PRIVACY is very important to us. This is why we are making the group “secret.” Please see https://www.facebook.com/help/220336891328465 to better understand the privacy options for Facebook groups. You should consider editting your privacy settings to ensure others in the group who are not your “friends” on Facebook cannot see your personal information. Please see the following for more on editing your personal privacy settings: https://www.facebook.com/help/325807937506242/?ref=contextual

We ask that you consider your own privacy and DO NOT post any personal information you do not want others to know such as your phone number, address, grades for this or other classes, etc. Any information deemed too personal by staff will be deleted from the class Facebook group page.

Using your existing personal Facebook account will provide for ease of seeing everything related to the class without a separate login. If you do not have a Facebook account, we encourage you to use your school e-mail to set one up and think of it as your professional Facebook presence; and you can of course delete the account after the semester is over should you not wish to continue your social media presence. Please remember that even when you have

https://www.facebook.com/help/220336891328465

https://www.facebook.com/help/325807937506242/?ref=contextual

privacy settings set to only friends or friends of friends, if you post something marked as available for anyone to see, people in our group may be able to see that post.

Facebook will be our primary means of interaction throughout the semester. The instructor will regularly be available via the chat feature in Facebook to answer specific questions, though we encourage you to post questions that may pertain to the whole class in the group so all can benefit. Questions may be about assignments and tasks for the class or about the material being covered. Please check for other posts related to your question before posting; if someone else is already asking a similar question, consider putting your related question into a comment on the post.

Beyond using Facebook for questions, all students will be asked to post original content (e.g., links to articles, photos, tweets, vines, thoughts) that relate to the course content and stimulate learning for the class. Please use the “Write Post, “ “Add Photo/Video,” and “Add File” features toward the top of the page. All students are also expected to “see” these posts and respond through the comments feature.

To join the group, search for “HLPR6013 Introduction to Health Promotion” in Facebook and click “Join.” You may need to click on groups in the left hand navigation menu and then search from the groups page. The instructor will verify your enrollment in the unit and grant access. PLEASE NOTE: You will not be granted permission to join the Facebook group unless you are officially enrolled in the unit. You may need to alert the instructor if your Facebook name is in some way different than your real name.

Once all students have been added to the Facebook group, the group will be changed from a “closed” group where anyone can find the group and see membership to a “secret” group where no one will be able to find the group or see membership and only those authorized by us to be in the group will see and be able to post and comment in the group.

Participation in Facebook discussions is expected throughout the semester. The instructor will post articles, commentary, and questions for the group periodically throughout the semester to stimulate conversation. Students are expected to also start conversations in a similar manner and engage in conversations on items others post to the group.

At the end of the semester, after grades have been official posted by the university, we will seek your feedback on the use of Facebook for the unit.

Online Communication Netiquette: Facebook will be the primary communication channel for this unit. Pay attention to the following when you are communicating with your instructor(s) or peer students in Facebook:

1. Check before you post. Always check whether a similar question that has been posted and answered on the discussion board to avoid duplicated messages and responses.

2. Be descriptive (i.e., more than a few words or 1 sentence) of the subject of your Facebook posts. It makes the discussion/communication more efficient, robust and facilitative of discussion.

3. Write in short paragraphs or use bullets to break down your ideas into smaller chunks of information. This will make your postings easier to read.

4. Do not write in all uppercase. USING ALL CAPS MEANS YOU ARE SHOUTING although you may not mean it. 5. Be careful with sarcasm as it often is interpreted as rude and hurtful. 6. Do not edit or change message content when someone has already responded to you. If you have something

to add or change, simply add a follow-up message. 7. People in this course may come from places around the world, so be respectful to other cultures and

languages. 8. Respect others. Like all communication and discussion occasions, use your professionalism and talk to others

with respect. 9. Do not post personal information (e.g., grades).

Referring to the sources

You should paraphrase, summarize and synthesize as appropriate, indicating author, year and page numbers when you discuss an idea that is not your own.

Style of writing

The response should be written in a formal academic style which includes in-text citations and a reference list.

Word count

300 - 350 words (Times New Roman, font size 12, 1.5 spacing, keep to one page).

The structure

The response should contain an introduction, body and a conclusion with or without headings.

Part B: Rationale for Health Promotion in Public Health (20%) - Due Sunday, 16 Oct 2016 @ 11:59pm WST

For this part of the assessment, you will build on the content in Part A, readings and unit content and discussion to develop a succinct 500 word (Times New Roman, font size 12, 1.5 spacing) rationale for the need for health promotion within the field of public health. The rationale should include an introduction of your argument for the need for health promotion, a body containing evidence to support your argument (minimum 5 references using APA 6th format), and a conclusion. Please see Blackboard for more details.

2. Test (25%) - Due Sunday 30 October 2016 @ 11:59pm WST

The test will examine student knowledge of the key concepts of health promotion covered throughout the semester. The exam will include multiple choice, true/false, matching, and short essay questions. Details to be provided via Blackboard and Facebook at least 2 weeks prior to the due date.

Students are encouraged to review all lecture materials, unit materials and their notes in preparation for the test.

The test will be made available 2 weeks prior to the due date of Sunday, 30 October 2016 at 11:59pm WST.

The test is "open book" meaning you will be allowed to have all your notes and materials in front of you as you take the test. However, the test will be timed. You will have a set amount of time in which to complete the test which means you will not have time to look up every answer. You will need to be very familiar with the material before you begin.

This test is an online test which you will take here in Blackboard. You will have 1 attempt and all attempted answers will automatically submit and the test will close at the end of your time. You will have 90 minutes to complete the test. Note, there have been issues with the timer announcements in Blackboard (CITS suggest using Firefox or Chrome as a browser). You must keep track of your time on your own to ensure you can answer all questions.

The number and type of questions will be announced prior to the exam opening. Questions will appear one at a time, you will not be able to go back to a question once answered, and they will be randomized from a pool of questions. In line with academic integrity standards at Curtin University, you must complete the exam on your own. Cheating will be dealt with in accordance with Curtin policies.

Be sure you have a secure and stable Internet connection when attempting the test. It is highly recommended you use a computer attached directly to a LAN connection with sufficient speed to handle the requirements of Blackboard with little or no delay in loading. Further, you should ensure your environment is conducive to taking a timed test (i.e., no distractions).

3. Final Paper (45%) - Due Sunday, 13 November 2016 @ 11:59pm WST

The final paper will be your opportunity to demonstrate your skills in critically assessing health promotion programs and processess with an emphasis on evidence and ethics. The paper will be 2000-2500 word (Times New Roman, font size 12, 1.5 spacing, and APA 6th format). Tables, figures, graphs, etc. do not count toward your total word count. Note there is a policy at Curtin University that allows for 10% over stated word counts in assessments. Anything over 2500 by more than 10% will only be marked up to that point (e.g., we will not





read beyond 2750 words). Please use the standard assessment submission coversheet for the paper. Papers are to be submitted as 1 word document (including the cover sheet) to the Turnitin submission point below in Blackboard. It is highly encouraged you use the draft submission feature to check for potential plagiarism issues before submitting the final paper. We suggest you compllete and submit your near final draft at least 5 days before the due date in order to receive and check your originality report, and if needed, make the appropriate adjustments before submitting the final paper.

For your final paper, you will write a 2000-2500 word piece similar to a short peer-reviewed journal article. The paper should include an Introduction/Background, Methods, Results and Discussion/Conclusion section. You can think of this as an evidence-informed critical assessment of the literature on a specific health topic which incorporates what you have learned in the unit about Health Promotion.

No abstract is required for this assessment. Do include references (APA 6th; minimum 20). It is recommended you approach writing this paper as though you intend to submit it for publication to a peer-reviewed journal. A few example literature review articles will be provided from which you can model your own work (note these are just examples, may be more detailed and in-depth than required for the assessment, and may not follow exactly the required format detailed below). We encourage you to seek out other literature reviews on or similar to your own topic for further examples. Additional resources will also be posted here to help in the process of conducting a literature review.

Introduction/Background: In this section, you need to identify a specific health issue (e.g., Cardiovascular Disease) and a justifiable risk factor/behaviour (e.g., high cholesterol due to dietary choices). Start with the broad scope of the issue, such as, “Worldwide, cardiovascular disease accounts for xx% of the total burden of disease.” Work through the issue and related risk factors to focus in on a specific risk factor and associatedbehaviour. End the section with identification of a specific target population including justification and a rationale for needing to examine health promotion programmes that may help address the health issue in the identified population.

Methods: The methods section should be relatively brief and provide a clear and concise description of how you systematically went about identifying the literature you reviewed for the paper. You may wish to consider using a diagram to depict your logic. This section should include identification of library databases searched (e.g., MEDLINE) and key words used as well as your criteria for picking articles to include and a rationale for all the above.

Results: The results should provide the reader with a critical synthesis of what has been learned about health promotion programmes aimed at addressing the health issue. It is suggested you organize the literature into 2-3 key themes (maybe more depending on your framework for analysing them; e.g., a social determinants framework would have 10 or so key areas). Describe what has been learned on each theme using the literature to support. Also include a section on theoretical frameworks used in the programmes you have learned about from the articles discussing strengths and weaknesses.

Discussion/Conclusion: Based on the results you have presented, provide 2-3 key points of discussion and relate back to the original health issue, risk factor and target population identified in the Introduction. This section should leave the reader understanding not only what has been learned from the review but also have a sense your evidence-informed opinion of the direction we should take going forward. Include a brief conversation on ethical considerations. Conclude with a paragraph summarising the main points you want to make and recommendations for the future.
