Topic 1 Introduction

The main aim of the wider adult education on the preventive programs is to achieve the sustainable, school-wide approach to maintain children’s/ adolescents’ health.

  • The first step- PROVIDE THE INFORMATION
    • Provide the information on the problems
    • Provide information on the prevalence of the problem
    • Provide information on the consequences
    • Provide information on the main symptoms.
If there is an understanding of the importance of the problem the prevention is targeting, then the preventive programs may be more specific, but the implementers can also be more enthusiastic about creating them.
  • School wide organisation
  • Collaboration between the stakeholders
  • Usage of media
  • Evaluation
  • Who should be included in program development
  • Who should be included in program implementation
  • Who should be included in program dissemination
  • Who should be included in program evaluation
  • ….And how to organise each step.
