Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.3K
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...

Area of Science:

  • * Health Promotion
  • * Physical Education
  • * Public Health Policy

Background:

  • * Physical literacy (PL) is a growing, multidimensional concept in physical education, physical activity, and health promotion.
  • * Conceptualization and understanding of PL vary globally, particularly in Latin America, necessitating regional contextualization.
  • * Chilean public policies for physical activity and sports highlight the need for a unified understanding of PL.

Purpose of the Study:

  • * To propose a systematized, evidence-based elaboration of a contextualized physical literacy consensus in Chile.
  • * To engage diverse stakeholders in defining and promoting physical literacy within the Chilean context.
  • * To serve as a model for implementing physical literacy in Latin America and other low- and middle-income countries.

Main Methods:

  • * A mixed-methods approach involving six work packages.
  • * Review of evidence on physical literacy in Spanish-speaking populations.
  • * Community engagement through drawings, interviews, focus groups, and questionnaires.
  • * National consultation and consensus-building with teachers, political actors, and the public.

Main Results:

  • * A comprehensive, evidence-based consensus statement on physical literacy for Chile will be developed.
  • * The consensus will foster a shared understanding among stakeholders, facilitating PL development and promotion.
  • * The study protocol (CONALMOT_CL) will be registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Conclusions:

  • * The developed consensus will provide a common framework for understanding and applying physical literacy in Chile.
  • * This initiative is expected to advance the implementation of physical literacy across Latin America.
  • * Establishing a clear definition of physical literacy is crucial for effective health promotion and educational strategies.
