Task Summary

You are required to create an academic poster for a health promotion campaign focused on a specific health issue and target group. Your poster must include a planned intervention, supported by evidence, theory, and appropriate communication strategies. To achieve higher marks, you should also submit a 15-minute audio explaining your poster.

Assignment Instructions

For this task, you must produce:

• An academic poster created in PowerPoint, presenting a health promotion campaign.

The poster should fit on a single A3 slide.

• Your poster must be based on a specific health issue and aimed at a clear target group (e.g. young adults, pregnant women, ethnic minority communities)
• You should select a theory or model and explain it in your own words and say how it helped you understand your audience and the approach you will take with your campaign.
• You should also submit a 15-minute audio narration explaining your poster and the thinking behind your campaign. This is not mandatory to pass; however, you cannot achieve a higher mark band without the audio.
• The word limit for the poster content is 1,000 words (excluding references).

You can choose from a range of health topics for your campaign. Some examples include obesity, smoking, substance misuse, skin cancer, bowel cancer, breastfeeding, cervical cancer, sexual health, or monkeypox. These are just examples, and you may choose any appropriate topic.

You will be assessed on:

• Your explanation of the origins of health promotion and why it matters in public health today.
• How you have applied health promotion theories and approaches in your campaign.
• Your ability to plan a specific, evidence-based intervention that is creative and practical.
• Your use of clear communication strategies suitable for your chosen audience.
• Your ability to present your work in a professional and structured format.
• Audio Clarification: If you are submitting an audio recording, this should be clearly labelled and no longer than 15 minutes. Make sure your file includes your student ID.

Your submission should include:

• A PowerPoint file with your completed A3 poster
• A separate slide with your reference list (not included on the poster slide itself)
• Optional audio narration embedded in the PowerPoint file can help you achieve higher marks.
• A title page with your student number, module name, submission date, and exact word count

Do not include your name, as Arden University uses anonymous marking. You must include your STU number.

Audio Clarification: If you are submitting an audio recording, this should be clear to see and no longer than 15 minutes. Make sure your file includes your student ID.
