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.

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.
