The assessment strategy requires students to:
Develop and create a poster that demonstrates a clear health promotion message to a defined target population of the students choice.
Undertake a 40 minute poster presentation (30 minutes presentation and 10 minutes question and answer session).
The 30 minute critical verbal presentation around the health promotion poster should
Include an introduction – to include a brief overview of the structure and contents of the presentation.
Provide a sound underpinning rationale for choice of topic area and target audience, supported by relevant epidemiological and demographic data. Justify choices made with application to local, national and global health promotion policies and interventions.
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the process of devising a poster: Such as the use of font, graphics and colours.

Critically discuss the strengths and weaknesses of posters as a health promotion tool, with application to your poster.
Critically explore where the poster would be displayed with rationale for choice of locations.
Identify and analyse any ethical principles which apply to the health promotion poster and target audience.
