Health promotion in an inner city area.

This article is the first of two looking at health promotion projects which go some way towards meeting the targets set out in 'The Health of the Nation' White Paper. In an attempt to encourage healthier lifestyles that reduce the risk of heart disease, a project was set up in an inner city area of Staffordshire using the Look After Your Heart approach. Ten people took part in ten sessions which each covered aspects of exercise, a subject related to healthy living and relaxation. At the end of the course, the participants felt they had benefited from the course and six months later several were still maintaining their lifestyle changes.

Health promotion: preventing unwanted teenage pregnancies.

In the second of two articles looking at health promotion projects addressing targets set out in the Health of the Nation White Paper (1), the author describes the work of a North Staffordshire family planning clinic which specifically targets young people with contraceptive advice and services including pregnancy testing, rubella vaccination and cervical cytology. Hundreds of young people have attended the clinic since it opened in 1990 and the scheme has been so successful that a similar clinic has been opened in another area.
