    Behaviour change models: WACE Year 12 Health Studies Unit 3

    Define Self-efficacy

  6. Definition

    Reliability and validity of health information: WACE Year 12 Health Studies Unit 4

    Define Reliability and validity

    Health literacy is the personal knowledge, skills and confidence that enable a person to access, understand, appraise and apply health information to make decisions and take action for their own health and the health of others.

  8. Key fact

    Advocacy and action for global health: WACE Year 12 Health Studies Unit 4

    Tell me about Action competence

    Action competence is the capacity to act on health knowledge in an informed and justified way. It combines knowing about an issue, knowing how to influence it, believing you can make a difference, and being willing to act.

  9. Definition

    Measuring health status and data: WACE Year 12 Health Studies Unit 3

    Define Burden of disease

    Burden of disease is a measure of the impact of illness, injury and premature death on a population, combining the years of healthy life lost to early death with the years lived with disability.

  10. Key fact

    Communication and assertiveness skills: WACE Year 12 Health Studies Unit 4

    Tell me about Assertiveness and communication styles

    Communication styles sit on a spectrum. A passive style avoids conflict by giving in, hiding true feelings and letting others decide, which protects the relationship but not the person's own health or wishes.
