As I reflect on my time in this course, I only have positive thoughts and comments. I am grateful for the exponential amount of learning that took place. I have gained a better understanding of how to design, implement and evaluate health promotion programs. Additionally, I have learned the importance of utilizing theories, frameworks, and models when developing health promotion programs.
During this course, the greatest discovery for myself came through Assignment two. Creating an infographic was an extremely valuable skill. Through this assignment, I was able to develop clear communication skills to educate target populations. Furthermore, this assignment help reinforce critical thinking skills in identifying areas of need, gathering relevant background information and displaying it in a manner that is eye catching for individuals.
The most powerful learning experience for myself occurred working through the 3 assignments. Utilizing the feedback, I received from Assignment 1, I was able to take a generalized approach to adolescent vaping and focus my topic into a specific target population. Additionally, I was able to develop a much more focused intervention. This translated into a much more polished and focused infographic. Furthermore, I was able to take the feedback from Assignment 2 and utilize it during the final assignment. Instead of relying heavily on the socio-ecological model, I incorporated multiple theories, models and frameworks when developing my own proposed health promotion model. This process was eye-opening, as it highlighted how much I had learned throughout the course and the importance of utilizing multiple concepts when developing effective health promotion strategies.
This journey through this course has been so invaluable. Overall, this course has increased my dedication in utilizing evidence-based theories, models and frameworks when developing health promotion strategies. This course has inspired me to continue to advocate and promote the health and wellbeing of my patients by using health promotion strategies.
