Change4life incorporates numerous approaches into its campaign to promote the
public health. Two of the main ways it promotes its campaign is through
coordinating services. Change4life promotes healthy eating by including a range
of agencies and settings and services to bring its messages to a larger public
audience. For change4life to be a successful campaign, it needs to be backed
and have its messages promoted and reinforced. It is no use for example
change4life to be promoted in the dentist but not in the doctors, because it will
send mixed messages and it will not come out as strong. Change4life is
promoted in dentist as being wary if sugar and other hidden foods that can
contribute to tooth decay and enamel issues. For example, as shown below (a)
shows how food swaps such as high sugary juice to milk benefits teeth. The
dentist talks and speaks about the danger of not brushing your teeth and about
how to correctly brush your teeth, however change4life features a block colour
and fun images, making it memorable.
According to public health fingertips 28% of 5-year-olds have tooth decay and
among these 24% have more than 5 teeth affected. With change4life both the
dentists, schools and the consumers will know and be able to promote healthier
options. With these two agencies working together a wider audience will be able
to see change4life. Children will also recall those symbols remembering the font
and block colours and be more conscious about making healthier choices.
