Assessment Statement

  • Individual health skills are highly effective in enabling young people to attain better health outcomes.
  • Assessment demonstrates significant value in developing self-efficacy, health literacy and resilience as primary factors for health improvement.

Self-efficacy and Resilience

  • Self-efficacy demonstrates strong effectiveness in empowering young people to make positive health decisions and maintain long-term behavioural changes.
  • Young people with high self-belief successfully manage stress, resist peer pressure and maintain healthy behaviours despite external challenges.
  • Evidence shows adolescents with developed self-efficacy achieve higher physical activity levels and better nutritional choices compared to those lacking confidence in their abilities.
      
  • Resilience produces substantial results in helping young people recover from health challenges and setbacks while building emotional strength.
  • Resilient teenagers effectively cope with mental health issues, family problems and academic stress without resorting to harmful behaviours such as substance abuse or self-harm.
  • Research indicates resilient youth demonstrate lower rates of depression and substance abuse across various socioeconomic backgrounds.

Health Literacy and Help-seeking

  • Health literacy shows considerable impact on young people’s ability to access, understand and interpret complex health information from multiple sources.
  • Students with strong health literacy skills make informed decisions about sexual health, nutrition and mental wellbeing while critically evaluating health information.
  • They effectively navigate healthcare systems and understand preventive health measures including vaccination and screening programs.
      
  • Help-seeking behaviours demonstrate high practical value when young people face health challenges requiring professional intervention or support.
  • Those comfortable seeking support from trusted adults, school counsellors or health professionals receive early intervention for emerging problems.
  • This prevents minor issues from developing into serious health conditions requiring intensive treatment and long-term management.

Overall Assessment

  • Assessment reveals excellent overall effectiveness of individual health skills in promoting better health outcomes for young Australians.
  • The combined development of multiple skills creates comprehensive protection against health risks while enabling proactive health management throughout adolescence and into adulthood.
