Health promotion programs aim to prevent illnesses and promote optimal health. Therefore, disseminating information about health and wellness, changing lifestyle and behavior, implementing environmental control programs, and conducting wellness appraisal programs are all appropriate activities that can be included in such programs. However, prescribing medications to treat underlying disorders is not necessarily a part of health promotion programs, as they focus on prevention rather than treatment.
