“…Indeed, WHO's recent Moscow Declaration on advancing prison public health was focused firmly on prevention *principally of infectious and communicable diseases *with no explicit mention of broader social, environmental, economic and political determinants of health (World Health Organisation, 2003). HiPP's philosophy, however, is drawn from the WHO's 'healthy settings approach' (Baric, 1992;Mullen et al, 1995;World Health Organisation, 1991) *where it was envisaged that settings of everyday life should be reoriented to provide opportunities for supporting and enhancing health (World Health Organisation, 1985), and the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, which emphasised action on the broad determinants of health (World Health Organisation, 1986). WHO's vision for prisons is to create a 'whole climate' for improving health (1996:1), where personal safety, fulfilment and dignity are considered important prerequisites for prisoner health (World Health Organisation, 1998b:2).…”

Prison social environments play an important role in the health of prisoners. How they respond to imprisonment is partially dependent upon how effectively they integrate into an institution's social structure, learn to fit in with others and adapt to and cope with becoming detached from society, community and family *hence, how they personally manage the transition from free society to a closed carceral community. This paper reports on findings of an ethnography conducted in an adult male training prison in England, which used participant observation, group interviewing, and one-toone semi-structured interviews with prisoners and prison officers. The research explored participants' perceptions of imprisonment, particularly with regard to how they learned to adapt to and 'survive' in prison and their perceptions of how prison affected their mental, social and physical well-being. It revealed that the social world of prison and a prisoner's dislocation from society constitute two key areas of 'deprivation' that can have important health impacts.

“…Health promotion initiatives are tar- Adams, 1986) geted at communities in specific locations (the settings) and it is thus possible to take account of the full range of personal, social and environmental influences on health (Baric, 1992a). Its advantages are that problems are not isolated from their environment and individuals are neither blamed for their problems nor expected to solve them solely by personal behaviour change.…”

Health education models and food hygiene education

Education of food industry personnel in hygiene matters has been recommended as a means of improving food handling practices and thus the safety of food. Provision has been made within the Food Safety Act 1990 for the making of regulations to specify the nature and extent of such training. There is, however, a lack of documentary evidence of improvements in food hygiene standards which can be directly related to education or training. Evaluations of formal food hygiene education courses have identified increased knowledge levels of course participants and improvements in the relationship between food industry and enforcement personnel. This paper considers the operation of food hygiene training in the context of health education theory. Interpretation of this suggests that further evaluation of training is warranted prior to programme development and that behavioural change might be more likely to occur if the settings approach to health promotion were to be adopted in food premises.

“…Following an analysis of theories and models of health promotion in the context of working with older people, the author introduces the notion of a health-promoting residential setting. The settings approach to health promotion has been well documented (Baric 1992(Baric , 1993 and theoretically modelled with specific institutions in mind (Beattie 1996;Parsons et al 1996). However, this chapter provides an interesting and potentially stimulating alternative to descriptions of the health-promoting school and health-promoting hospital.…”
