    Health promotion programs in child health are common but often lack rigorous evaluation. Most programs only assess participant satisfaction, not actual health improvements.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Health Promotion
    • Preventive Medicine

    Background:

    • Limited data exists on current health promotion and preventive program development.
    • Understanding existing activities is crucial for effective planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the nature and extent of health promotion programs in New South Wales.
    • To identify key areas and evaluate the effectiveness of child and family health programs.

    Main Methods:

    • A cross-sectional survey was conducted across hospitals, community health centers, and health agencies.
    • 1198 preventive programs in child and family health were analyzed from July to December 1983.

    Main Results:

    • Child and family health programs constituted 26% of all programs.

  • Major program types included parent education, school health education (drug/alcohol, personal development), and child safety/first aid.
  • Program evaluation was limited, primarily focusing on participant satisfaction rather than changes in knowledge, behavior, or health status.

    • Conclusions:

    • While program content aligns with health promotion priorities, evaluation practices are insufficient.
    • Improved evaluation methods are necessary to demonstrate the impact of preventive interventions on childhood diseases and problems.
