Compare and Contrast Health Promotion Program Planning Models

Chapter 3 of our textbook describes various health promotion planning  models that can be used to create a health promotion program. Each  planning model has unique strengths and weaknesses. It is important to  understand the differences and be able to determine which model is most  appropriate for the health issue being addressed. For this assignment,  you will compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of two  different health promotion planning models and explain how each of the  models were used to develop a health promotion program.
 

To  begin, select two of the health promotion program planning models  described in chapter 3. Provide a brief description of each model in  your own words. Explain the key constructs and phases of each model.  Then, using the Ashford Library, identify two scholarly journal articles  that discuss health promotion interventions that utilized the health  promotion planning models you selected (one article for each model).  Examine how the planning model was used to create the intervention.  Then, compare and contrast the usefulness of each model in creating a  health promotion program. Summarize two strengths and two weaknesses of  each model and how they compare to the other model. Finally, explain the  best strategy for determining how to select the most appropriate health  promotion program planning model for an intervention.
