Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Main Methods:

Utilizing narrative approaches, information technology, arts, music, and nature-based programming to enhance brain health and community well-being.
Implementing a model based on interprofessional care for chronic disease self-management and transdisciplinary research.
Documenting the 13-year history of reducing barriers and increasing community support for the integrated education and health model.

Main Results:

Progress has been made in reducing barriers and increasing community support for the integrated education and health model over 13 years.
Challenges related to funding and prioritization persist despite demonstrated community engagement.

Conclusions:

The InterWell model presents a novel approach to integrating education and healthcare, potentially fostering individual and community health.
Further development and funding are crucial to overcome existing challenges and realize the model's potential for human flourishing amidst global disruptions.
