Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention01:26

Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

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...

Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

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 from...

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...

Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative programs,...
Lifestyle Factors and Health01:20

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Preventive Medicine
  • Community Health Programs

Background:

  • Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality in West Virginia.
  • Residents face significant barriers to accessing preventive care and physical activity.
  • Safety-net clinics serve vulnerable populations with high needs for health promotion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of a clinic-community partnership to promote physical activity and cardiovascular health.
  • To link patients from a free clinic with community-based exercise opportunities.
  • To identify lessons learned for implementing similar health-promotion initiatives.

Main Methods:

  • Adult patients with chronic conditions (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, prediabetes, diabetes) were referred from a free clinic to a community fitness organization.
  • Participants received free memberships, transportation support, and individualized exercise plans.
  • Quantitative and qualitative data were collected to evaluate engagement and implementation.

Main Results:

  • 93 participants (mean age 53.2 years, 64.5% female) showed favorable trends in weight, blood pressure, and well-being.
  • Transportation barriers and reduced attendance were identified as limitations to sustained engagement.
  • The partnership demonstrated feasibility in a safety-net setting.

Conclusions:

  • Clinic-community partnerships can promote physical activity and improve health indicators in underserved populations.
  • Addressing transportation barriers is crucial for sustained engagement in community-based health programs.
  • Practical lessons were gained for optimizing referral workflows, support systems, and data infrastructure in safety-net settings.
