| Course description: Health promotion uses theories and methods from psychology, sociology, anthropology, epidemiology, and other disciplines that
together contribute to the qualitative understanding of the ways in which the health of the population can be maintained and
improved. Special importance of health promotion is a multisectoral, which means that they are successfully working on health
promotion must cooperate with other sectors. For instance, increasing taxes on tobacco, ie fiscal policy, effectively reducing
the prevalence of smoking, especially among young people, from a classical health education. The course provides insight into
basic theoretical approaches to health promotion and practical skills that are needed for development, implementation and
evaluation of such programs. Will be shown that the differences between the population and targeted approaches to health promotion
and why community development is important for health promotion.
