Assessment Guidelines:
Students need to choose a current or recent (within the last 5 years) national/state supported health promotion program and critically review/evaluate its effectiveness in terms of its impact on the health status of targeted communities. When choosing a program please review and consider if you can source data for the evaluation; for example if you choose a campaign that commenced in 2018 or 2019, will you be able to source enough data to evaluate the campaign?
It is recommended that the student review the health promotion program in a systematic manner that includes:
- Setting the background context of the program, including how and where the need for it arose
- Critically review the political climate and/or political influences and relevant legislation that led to, and supported the planning, resourcing and implementation of the program.
- Critically evaluate the findings and impact of the program, including reported successes, limitations, barriers and opportunities.
- Summarise the program in terms of overall effectiveness, lessons learnt and potential future directions
- Tips

*Remember that a critique review/analysis is more than a description of the program. You need to identify and explain the argument of the program and provide your own argument about that argument. It is best approached using an open questioning method of comparing and contrasting
