Development and evaluation of a health promotion program for older adults: Journey through Health
Abstract
The "Journey through Health" program was developed using the Health Belief Model and provided information on how the overarching Dietary Guideline Consumer Brochure messages can positively influence nutrition and physical activity choices to prevent or delay age-related changes throughout the body. The program consisted of 12 posters, each with an educational script and handout. Results of the program evaluation with 142 older adults revealed the program was positively received and resulted in increased awareness of age-related changes and associated health risks, benefits of nutrition and physical activity in health promotion, and self-efficacy towards following the Dietary Guideline Consumer Brochure messages.
