Everyone agrees it's important to be healthy. That's why so many of the decisions we make in our daily life are about good health. Our ability to be healthy is determined by many different factors. In this program we explore the "determinants of health" or "influences on health" through practical examples over different life stages in today's society. We explain how health can be determined by a range of individual, social, cultural, environmental and lifestyle factors that are dynamic and interrelated. We conclude by highlighting education and awareness as the greatest influences on our health and the decisions we make.

In Australia, we're well educated about health risks yet our government spends millions each year treating preventable diseases. This program provides a detailed overview of health promotion in today's society. The Ottawa Charter Framework for health promotion is explored as a contributing factor to improved health outcomes for various groups in Australia. Each chapter provides a unique perspective of how to improve the health of individuals, as well as preventative measures such as immunisation and cancer screening. The program's practical approach looks at how the strategies are implemented, the target audience and the impact it has in individual behaviour and outcomes.

Racism has been a characteristic of many cultures, ever since the first human societies millions of years ago. But where does racism come from? What is it about human nature that inclines some people to stereotype and vilify other races? This Australian-made, curriculum fit program explores these questions in a range of different ways - through the eyes of three key experts, through the presentation of various facts and figures about racism in Australia and around the world, and through a simple drama, set in an Australian secondary school, that illustrates how exclusion of people for baseless reasons impacts on all individuals concerned. Racism is a sensitive issue, and this program encourages students to explore, and maybe confront, a societal issue that has been around as long as we have.

Surf, sun, sport and the great outdoors. Australians have a great way of life, but our lifestyle can also cause many health problems which are known as lifestyle diseases. Diets high in fat and sugar, increasing amounts of time spent watching TV, playing computer games and poor food choices contribute to health problems such as obesity, diabetes, dental decay and anaemia. These diseases affect millions of Australians and in many cases are caused by poor habits and lifestyle choices. Students will gain an understanding of these diseases and the impact they are having on the health of Australia's population.

At the start of the 21st century we are exercising less, eating less healthy food and putting on more weight. We are becoming a nation of sloths, yet our desire for thinness is getting stronger and stronger.
Many of the technological advances designed to improve our lives are working to make us less fit and less healthy.
This informative program looks at a number of issues, including:
What is fat and why do we need it?
Why we are getting fatter - poor diet, lack of exercise, the role of genetics
Health implications of fatty diets
Social effects of a poor diet
Lifestyle changes to avoid the harmful effects of fat - change in diet and increased physical activity.

Too often our associations with ageing and being old are negative. Whilst there are many genuine problems associated with age, mature adults in Australian society are also some of the happiest and busiest people in any segment of society.
In this program we examine old age; what happens in the body and mind; its implications for every one of us now; and how we can each aim to reach a happy and healthy old age.

While people in some countries struggle to reach minimal levels of nutrition, one of the biggest health problems in countries like Australia is that of over-consumption.
We consume too much energy as fat, alcohol and sugar and too much salt, yet even as we consume beyond our needs we're not eating enough complex carbohydrates and fibre.
It is these trends which are causing burgeoning rates of cardiovascular diseases and cancers.
In this program we look at the relationship between diet and disease, examining in detail the way foods both protect against and contribute to the most significant diseases of our age, the interaction with other health influences and the recent SIGNAL government health initiative that will shape our health for decades to come.

We used to think that when it came to health, our celebrated egalitarianism extended to equal access to health services, good food and hygiene, resulting in equality in health. But today our understanding of health influences is defined by many more complex factors such as the money we earn, where we live and how we work.
In this program we examine the significant impact of income, region, occupation, race and gender on health, the ways in which this manifests itself and the implications for health both now and in the future.
This is an entertaining and informative program that will engage students on both a personal and theoretical level as we look at examples from around Australia and around the world, seeking solutions to inequalities in health.

While there are many influences on our food decisions, the family is probably the most important. In this program, we spend time with a not atypical family: a husband and wife and their teenage and pre-teenage children.
We see who makes the decisions, why and with what effect, and we see how the family's thinking about nutrition is fairly deeply ingrained, sometimes for the worst, sometimes for the better.

Across the world 1.3 billion people suffer from extreme poverty. They don't have enough to eat, they don't have proper shelter, they don't have safe drinking water and they don't have access to life saving medicines.
This program explores three aspects of development that can have a positive impact on the health and lives of people in developing countries. We look at how the provision of safe drinking water, the clearing of landmines and the introduction of micro-finance systems to create employment can help improve the quality of life for individuals and society.

This program examines what people are getting sick from, dying of and how age factors into health. With so many choices today in how we live, how are those choices affecting our health? What is it that causes ill health; is it simply our lifestyle, or is it non-lifestyle factors? Will better health require or mean better lifestyles, government intervention (better environment, anti-smoking legislation, better nutrition education, health promotion generally, etc.), or more research and more medical technology? Or is it up to each person's individual will?
