Policy development
Introduction to policy development
Policies define and support particular values and behaviours.
"If implemented well, policy can profoundly influence the way
people live and the choices that they make. In terms of health
promotion, policies should make healthier choices easier, and
unhealthy ones more difficult." A significant aspect of policy is
that it is long-lasting and difficult to change, once in place..
At THCU, we use the Road
Map for policy change. For more information, please read Developing
Health Promotion Policies.
We also offer
a workshop on developing
health promotion policies, a
related workshop on media
advocacy, and one on media
relations. Click
