The Precede-Proceed model is highly demanded in health education because it provides guidance for planning health promotion and health programs at a much larger scale (Romas & Sharma, 2012). In the 1970s, Larry Green and Marshall Kreuters developed the Precede model. Then in the 1980s, its name changed to Precede-Proceed. “Precede is an acronym for predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling constructs in educational and environmental diagnosis and evaluation; Proceed is an acronym for policy, regulatory, and organizational constructs in education and environmental development (Romas & Sharma, 2012, p. 43).” As health promotions grew, the model evolved into eight phases noted by Romans and Sharma (2012), phase one is social assessment, phase two …show more content…
In the past, inadequate planning and health promotion interventions were the reason behind ineffective injury control. The key factors causing child pedestrians injuries are addressed and evaluated appropriately with the use of planning models. The Child Pedestrian Injury Prevention Project (CPIPP) is “a three-year intervention trial that consists of variable applications of school based student, parent, teacher, and community education, as well as environmental interventions (p. 282).” Within the Perth metropolitan area there are two communities receiving CPIPP interventions, one receiving only the school based program and the other receiving the school based program and the community/ environmental interventions (Cross et al, …show more content…
It includes classification of predisposing factors, which are behavioral change used to motivate; enabling factors, which allows motivation to be acknowledged; and reinforcing factors, which are rewarding for sustaining behavior. According to Cross et al (1997), “the predisposing factors included lack of knowledge about safe road crossing behavior, and perception of low risk of injury while crossing busy roads; the enabling factors included lack of social skills required to ask people to help them cross roads, and inadequate school road safety education; the reinforcing factors included parents allowing children to cross roads alone, and parents’ perceptions that their children have adequate abilities to cross roads safely, unaccompanied (p. 285).” The final step was phase 4, administrative and policy assessment and intervention alignment. It includes alignment of priorities, resources, barriers, and policies. According to Cross et al (1997), “this phase created objectives that related to multiple sub objectives i.e create a quality school based pedestrian safety education program, and the intervention strategies needed were a combination of educational and environmental approaches (p.
Following that, “Plan Health Education/Promotion” is the second responsibility that health educators must follow—Furthermore, educators must “Involve Priority Populations and Other Stakeholders in the Planning Process”(NCHEC, n.d., p. 2). This requires greater involvement of the population that the plan will impact the most, in addition,

“Healthy People provides science-based, 10-year national objectives for improving the health of all Americans.” ( United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Healthy People 2020 , 2011). It acts as a national guide for disease prevention and health promotion. There are various objectives and goals which serve as the guideline to achieve overall improvement in health . ‘Educational and Community-Based Programs’ is one of them. According to U.S Department of Health and Human Services the main goal of these programs is to “Increase the quality, availability, and effectiveness of educational and community-based programs designed to prevent disease and injury, improve health, and enhance quality of life.” (HHS, Healthy People 2020, 2011). This particular goal of Healthy People 2020 focuses on increasing the number educational and community based programs to increase awareness about disease prevention and health among every individual of the society. It focuses on educating them on various topics including chronic diseases, substance abuse, prevention of injury and violence to encourage and enhance health. It emphasizes on increasing the quantity and quality of such programs so that a larger population could benefit from the program and gain effective knowledge to achieve a healthy life.

Health promotion is a multifaceted movement with a core value on respect, empowerment, equity, inclusion and social justice (MacDougall 2002). Aims to achieve holistic health, while it is influenced by medical and social determinants. These determinants which aids to deter...
To reach a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, an individual or group must be able to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the environment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities. Therefore, health promotion is not just the responsibility of the health sector, but goes beyond healthy life-styles to wellbeing. Health promotion goes beyond health care. It puts health on the agenda of policy makers in all sectors and at all levels. It directs policy makers to be aware of the health consequences of their decisions and accept their responsibilities for

The five principles of HP include building healthy public policy, creating supportive environments, strengthening community action, developing personal skills, and reorienting health services (McMurray & Clendon 2015). The first principle aims to incorporate health into all public policy decisions beyond the health system so that living and working conditions become conducive to health and equity (Germov, Freij & Richmond 2015). According to McMurray & Clendon (2015), multi-sectoral collaboration is required among different sectors, such as education, industry and social welfare, with the reciprocally influential policies that guide the community health. The second principle emphasises the socio-ecological approach to health that promotes sustainable environment and broader social support systems that encourage a safe and satisfying life (Germov, Freij & Richmond 2015; McMurray & Clendon 2015). This principle requires to acknowledge the significance of conserving the physical or social resources that allow people to maintain health (McMurray & Clendon 2015). The third principle focuses on information and learning opportunities that enable communities to make knowledgeable choices for better health (McMurray & Clendon

People ride bicycles for various reasons. Some people ride bicycles for sport, fitness purposes, as a mode of transportation, fun activity, and some people ride bikes to simply relax and clear their mind after a long day. Regardless of the reason you ride, it is important to know the factors that contribute to bicycle and helmet safety. A study in 2014 shows that 103.7 million people rode a bike that year and 34 percent of Americans age three or older rode a bike at least once in that year (“Study: 103.7 Million Americans Ride Bikes”). The importance of bicycle safety cannot be underestimated. According to the 2008 Alabama Traffic Crash Facts, there were 182 bicycle crash injuries and four fatalities. In 2008, children 14 years old and under
I have discussed major safety topics including road and work safety and their effect in our daily living. We can’t evade from danger. The importance is that we learn to control and avoid factors that can cause us harm, injury or loss. This starts by making smart decisions. We should continue to teach our children to detect unsafe situations, places, things, and elements at an early age so that they practice safety habits throughout their life. In conclusion, is better to be safe than sorry.
