In order to design and an effective health promotion program at my work place I will take in to consideration the following four steps:
Prevention: “The goal of preventive health behavior (prevention) is to minimize the risk of disease, injury and disability. These (health protective behaviors) include participating in regular exercise, maintaining a favorable weight and healthy diet, not smoking, and obtaining immunizations against communicable diseases.” (Chapter, page 120)
The purpose of prevention can be achieved by educating workers and helping them in adopting habits and attitudes about the importance of health and benefits of healthy life styles. Programs and services can be:

“Today, a wide range of health screening procedures are available, including periodic physical examination, eye and dental examination, blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol readings, prenatal and well-baby care, and screenings to detect cancer.

Study of the above, Figure 6-1, reveals “that level of education and racial/ethnic identity influence receipt of detection services. Holding other variable constant, people with more education tend to obtain more detection services, and white tend to obtain more services than blacks or Hispanics. However, as Figure 6-1 demonstrates, the influence of racial/ethnic group membership varies by specific type of detection service.” (Chapter 6, page …show more content…

The same combination of activities may not overload males since they engage in considerably fewer home making and child rearing activities- even when their spouse is employed. Because many women feel primary responsibility for household obligation, and many men do not, it can be more physiologically distressing for women to occupy the multiple role of spouse, parent, and worker.” (Chapter 5, page
