hey guys, one of the questions in my assignment asks me to 'explain how the ottawa charter reflects the characteristics of the new public health approach'. can anyone please explain what it actually means,im getting confused.
thanx
The New Public Approach is all about involving the individual (individual empwoerment) and recognising the social determinants right?
So, the Ottawa Charter reflects this approach in that it takes all this into account.
E.g. 1 developing personal skills - helps people devlope skills therefore, empowering indiviual to change their health and make healthy decisions
Hope that makes sense. Its a very rough over view. Obviously you will need to go into alot more detail in your assignment.
Best of luck!! Contact me if you would like more help.
