Unit 3: Resilience as a community and global resource
Quick questions on Ottawa Charter action areas for QCE Health Unit 3
6short Q&A pairs drawn directly from our worked dot-point answer. For full context and worked exam questions, read the parent dot-point page.
What is applying the Charter in Unit 3?Show answer
Use the Charter as a planning and evaluation tool. To plan: take your priority issue, work through each action area, and identify realistic action. To evaluate: judge an existing program by which action areas it covers and which it neglects. A program that only develops personal skills (such as a lone awareness poster) is weak because it ignores policy and environment.
What is 1. Build healthy public policy?Show answer
Health is shaped by decisions made well outside the health sector. Laws, regulations, taxes and organisational policy create the conditions for health. Examples include mandatory seatbelt and helmet laws, graduated licensing for young drivers, and social housing policy.
What are 2. Create supportive environments?Show answer
The physical and social environment should make the healthy choice the easy choice. Safer road design, separated bike lanes, accessible crisis accommodation, and welcoming community spaces all create environments that support resilience.
What is 3. Strengthen community action?Show answer
Communities identify their own priorities and act on them. This is empowerment from the ground up: local groups, peer networks and community organisations mobilising resources. It is the action area most directly tied to building resilience as a community resource.
What are 4. Develop personal skills?Show answer
Education and skill-building help people make informed decisions and cope with challenges. This includes hazard-perception training for new drivers, financial literacy for people at risk of homelessness, and help-seeking skills for managing anxiety.
What are 5. Reorient health services?Show answer
Health services move beyond treatment toward prevention, early intervention and community partnership. Examples include outreach health services for people experiencing homelessness and culturally safe services co-designed with the community.
