Ottawa Charter
This Ottawa Charter strategy focuses on developing people's knowledge, skills and confidence so they can make healthier decisions.
What is Enable?
These are significant events that alter a person's life pathway.
What are turning points?
This RE-AIM component measures how many people participate.
What is Reach?
These people are the first to adopt a new innovation.
Who are Innovators?
This is the ability to access, understand and use health information.
What is Health Literacy?
This strategy involves influencing governments, schools or organisations to create healthier policies and supportive environments.
What is Advocate?
Moving from high school to university is an example of this concept.
What is a transition?
This component evaluates whether the program achieved its intended outcomes.
What is Effectiveness?
These people influence others and are respected opinion leaders.
Who are Early Adopters?
A student compares two health websites before making a decision.
What is an example of critical health literacy?
This strategy is demonstrated when schools, health professionals and community organisations work together to deliver a respectful relationships program.
What is Mediate?
A person's ongoing pattern of health behaviours over time.
What is a trajectory?
Checking whether teachers delivered the program as intended measures this.
What is Implementation?
Name the five adopter categories.
Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority and Laggards.
Reading medicine labels correctly demonstrates this type of health literacy.
What is functional health literacy?
A school teaches students communication, consent and conflict resolution skills through workshops and role-play activities.
What is an example of Enable?
Explain how adolescence can influence health later in adulthood.
Health behaviours developed during adolescence often continue into adulthood, influencing future health outcomes.
Schools deciding whether to implement a new wellbeing program demonstrates this component.
What is Adoption?
An innovation spreads rapidly because it is easy to use and clearly beneficial. Which two innovation characteristics are demonstrated?
What are Complexity (low complexity) and Relative Advantage?
Discuss how health literacy improves health outcomes.
It enables informed decisions, greater self-management and healthier behaviours.
An innovation develops students' relationship skills, partners with local health services, and successfully changes school policy to make respectful relationships education compulsory.
How do Enable, Mediate and Advocate work together in an innovation?
Describe the relationship between transitions, turning points and trajectories.
Transitions may create turning points that positively or negatively alter a person's long-term health trajectory.
Why is Maintenance essential for long-term health promotion?
Because sustained behaviour and organisational change are required for lasting health improvements.
Explain how characteristics of people and characteristics of the innovation interact to influence adoption.
Adoption occurs more quickly when motivated people perceive the innovation as beneficial, compatible and easy to use.
Explain why improving health literacy alone may not reduce health inequities.
Social determinants and environmental barriers may still limit healthy choices.
