Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

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

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...

Area of Science:

Digital Health
Health Equity
Health Informatics
Sociology of Health

Background:

Digital health offers potential to reduce health inequities for underserved populations.
Lack of practical guidance exists for involving priority communities in digital health technology coproduction throughout the innovation lifecycle.
Equitable inclusion is crucial for maximizing digital health's benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically identify and assess methods for equitable inclusion of priority communities in digital health innovation.
To evaluate methods across all stages of the digital health technology lifecycle.
To provide practical guidance for inclusive digital health development.

Main Methods:

Scoping review based on the Arksey and O'Malley framework.
A 6-stage framework was employed for review execution.
Participant, Concept, and Context framework structured inclusion criteria, with expert advisory group consultation.

Main Results:

Identified 106 articles, 58 methods, 4 approaches, and 17 research adjustments for coproduction.
Common methods include interviews, focus groups, surveys, and workshops.
Appointing community advisors/groups from inception to closure is the most accessible method for equity.

Conclusions:

Practical methods and research adjustments can embed equity in digital health innovation.
Findings can guide professionals in centering digital health equity.
Coproduction must incorporate diverse epistemological frameworks, including Indigenous knowledge systems, to avoid reinforcing structural barriers.
