Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II01:18

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.8K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

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...

Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Cross-Sectional Research

12.0K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Area of Science:

  • Health Disparities Research
  • Biomedical Sciences
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • The National Conference on Health Disparities (NCHD) has convened since 2000, fostering policy and program development.
  • The NCHD Student Research Forum (SRF) was established in 2011 to enhance research presentation skills among underrepresented students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the unique research training and professional development components of the NCHD SRF.
  • To highlight the program's impact on building capacity for biomedical research presentations.

Main Methods:

  • The NCHD SRF provides structured guidance on abstract development and scientific poster preparation.
  • A mandatory pre-conference webinar covers presentation techniques and methods.
  • Professional development workshops focus on mentorship, funding, networking, and research ethics.

Main Results:

  • Between 2011 and 2018, 400 undergraduate and graduate/professional students participated in the NCHD SRF.
  • Participants were predominantly women (80.5%), African American/Black (52.3%), and Hispanic/Latinx (21.3%).

Conclusions:

  • The NCHD SRF's distinctive features, including detailed abstract and poster training and funding support, differentiate it from other student research conferences.
  • The program effectively builds research presentation capacity and professional skills in a diverse student population, contributing to health equity research.
