WHY ARE HEALTH CONDITIONS SELECTED AS NHPA’S?

They contribute significantly to the burden of disease

There is potential for significant improvements in health to be made> largely preventable.

There is potential to reduce health inequalities between population groups

There is potential for a range of strategies to be implemented that can improve health in these areas.

WHAT IS GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP)?

An indication of a countries wealth, and is an estimation of the value of all goods and services produced in a 12 month period.

Health expenditure is often expressed as percentage of GDP.

In 2010-11 Australia’s GDP was approximately $1.4 trillion.

The $130 billion spent on health represents around 9% of GDP> $ 1.00 of every $11.00 is spent on health.

WHAT IS HEALTH PROMOTION?

According to the WHO> ‘the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health’

Health promotion strategies therefore aim to encourage behaviour changes before diseases become a problem> disease prevention.

Health promotion encourages people to live healthier lives.

Education is a major aspect of health promotion programs.
