Area of Science:

  • Public Health Education
  • Health Advocacy Training

Background:

  • Advocacy is a core responsibility for health education specialists, as defined by the Health Education Specialist Practice Analysis (HESPA) II.
  • Current pre-professional programs often lack faculty preparedness to teach essential advocacy skills.
  • There is a need for guidance on effective advocacy preparation within health education curricula.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the gap in faculty readiness for teaching advocacy skills in health education.
  • To advocate for improved program and faculty preparation in advocacy training.
  • To introduce resources that support the teaching of advocacy in health education.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the Health Education Specialist Practice Analysis (HESPA) II.
  • Discussion of emerging data on faculty preparedness.
  • Highlighting initiatives like the Public Health Advocacy Consensus Taskforce's Advocacy 2.0 model.

Main Results:

  • Faculty in health education programs are often unprepared to teach advocacy.
  • Existing resources and models (e.g., Advocacy 2.0) can guide curriculum development.
  • Revised faculty training and reframing advocacy are potential solutions.

Conclusions:

  • Health education programs require enhanced strategies to prepare future specialists in advocacy.
  • Utilizing available resources and models is crucial for effective advocacy training.
  • Addressing faculty readiness is key to integrating advocacy education into pre-professional curricula.
