Step 2- Identify and justify your choice of target population (Which group of people are of most interest to you?

You need to be able to justify your choice of target population in relation to evidence including, national and local drivers, life-course approach / early intervention theory and stages of human development.

Step 3-  Identify and justify THREE health related needs of your target population (What needs are most important?) 

Identify and justify THREE health related needs within your chosen target population. Your choice must be based upon health inequalities, local & national drivers for each need and consider the impact of each need upon the target population.

Step 4 -  Which is the most important need and what is being done locally to tackle this need? 

Finally, using local and national priorities and strength of evidence, you must prioritise ONE of the three health related needs (from step 3) for your target population. Then identify health promotion opportunities / initiatives which exist locally in your chosen geographical area and explain how these initiatives promote and protect the health of your target population.
