Part -1:

Develop a pamphlet or brochure.

For the purposes of this assignment, you are required to develop the draft pamphlet. While, best practice health promotion requires that you develop the pamphlet with members of the target group, you are not required to actually undertake the actual research required in the development and pretesting stages - just to describe the techniques that you would utilize in the accompanying poster. You are, however, required to make it (much as you can) like the final pamphlet would be if you had developed it with members of the target group, relevant health professionals, gatekeepers and other relevant key stakeholders.

To produce a draft copy of the pamphlet ready for pre-testing (without undertaking the required research), it is necessary for you to choose a health issue and a target group that you are already familiar with. You may choose an area is related to your area of paid health work, a professional practice that you have undertaken or volunteer work that you have done, for example.

It is required that the health project/campaign (that the pamphlet will act as a component of) will be in accordance with currently accepted health promotion practice. The pamphlet must suitable for use within a health promotion program in a defined setting (e.g. work-site, school, community or clinical). It must also be appropriate to your target group. You would, for example, only target a community group with reasonably high literacy levels and for whom a pamphlet is a culturally appropriate communication tool. The pamphlet must fully cover both sides of an A4 piece of paper and fold twice into three columns on each side of the paper.

You are required to produce the pamphlet using Microsoft Publisher. If you have no experience with this program, you are not required to do anything more complex than use the very simple ‘wizard' that generates a pamphlet template that you can type into.

Part -2:

An academic (or scientific) poster is a form of media communication frequently utilised by academics and professionals to communicate the essence of their work. It is most frequently used by researchers to present their research findings in brief at conferences.

It can also be used by professionals (such as health promoters) to present their innovative work (such as effective health promotion interventions) at professional gatherings such as conferences. An effective poster quickly and efficiently communicates you work and allows people to read and re-read.

Develop a poster presenting the process that you undertook to develop your pamphlet.

Write as if you have finished the development and testing process (i.e. write in past tense about what you did) and that the pamphlet is currently being used but you have not yet undertaken a final evaluation (i.e. write in future tense about planned outcome and impact evaluations).
