Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Describe the effective health promotion strategies. Effective Health Promotion Strategies Best practice is a concept that has evolved from continuous health service improvement strategies. Lately, the name of the programs has been altered to 'leading practices'.

Health promotion, disease prevention, and health maintenance are related terms that all pertain to public health. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2011) defines health promotion as "the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their health. It moves beyond a focus on individual behaviour towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions." Promoting health involves marketing and publicizing information that can help individual consumers, communities,
Transition From Disease Prevention to Health Promotion Health Promotion Health issues have been addressed in the past from the perspective of disease prevention rather than focusing on health promotion. Health promotion deals with a wide array of issues that establish the well-being of individuals and society as a whole including policymaking, social factors, health services, individual behavior as well as biology and genetics. These are the determinants of health. (Department of Health
