Ecological model is the most suitable model that can be used in the community and health promotion framework that I have chosen. My health problem of choice is the increasing prevalence of different types of cancer and the health promotion strategy is educating people on the importance of preventing strategies such as healthy eating, regular physical exercises and regular screening. Ecological models considers individuals and their connection with relationship, community and societal factors (Robert & Nestor, 2017). Using the four stages of ecological model namely individual, relationship, community and society, the health promotion framework can be implemented successfully. The individual level identifies the personal and biological history of an individual that increases the risk of them getting cancer. This level focuses on the level of knowledge and skill an individual possesses with regard to cancer. Through education, individuals can have a change of attitude through learning more about different types of cancer, risk contributing factors and what they can do to prevent it.

The relationship level helps examine close relationships such as the family members and friends that may increase the risk of getting cancer. Family focusses prevention programs and peer programs may help promote positive norms within this level. Community level focuses on neighborhoods, workplaces, schools and the characteristics in these settings that may increase risk of cancer (Jill, 2017). Improving the social and physical environment in these settings may help address the issue of cancer and install positive attitude and behavior that lead to prevention of cancer. Societal level focuses on social, education, economics and health policies that help maintain social and economic inequalities between people in society. The level also focuses on social and cultural norms that increase the prevalence of cancer. Implementing policies that help fight and prevent cancer while promoting positive social and cultural norms is a suitable strategy to prevent cancer.

Some of the major strengths of the ecological model include the fact that it helps promote education among all four levels of the model increasing chances of changing individual attitude and behavior (Jill, 2017). The model also proves that it is less costly to prevent cancer rather than cure it. The model also encourages individuals to take initiative and adopt a healthy lifestyle to prevent cancer. Some of the limitations that may also prove to be barriers to implementing the model include adopting a healthy lifestyle can be costly and this might hinder individuals from living a healthy lifestyle due to financial constrain. Another limitation is that not all types of cancer are preventable rendering the model less effective.

Individuals' mental health is neither distinct nor separated from other aspects of their total personal health, nor is it shielded or sheltered from the political, economic, material, or social situations that surround them. Multiple elements across those levels (as well as characteristics found in more intrapersonal physiological and behavioral realms) will influence mental health. A mentally healthy electorate is one where such impacts are overwhelmingly favorable and strengthening for all segments that make up the population, resulting in a rising number of people in their ranks achieving that life quality and competency. "The process of facilitating individuals and groups to achieve control over the health determinants and so enhance their health" is how health promotion is defined. The principles of involvement, empowerment, and justice are at the heart of the effort. The project might be summarized as an effort to increase connectivity and literacy. A high level of connectivity will result in shared accountability and member participation in reciprocal efforts to improve public well-being. Increased capacity to obtain knowledge and utilize it to improve situations that affect personal and communal health will be referred to as health literacy.

The multidirectional intricacy and dynamic interactions of elements functioning inside and across different levels through macro (societal) to micro (individual) is reflected in the ecological model of community-based health promotion (individual). As a result of these elements, settings influence people both personally and professionally, while individual and group activities can have an immediate or broader impact. The approach also recognizes that interventions may be performed at a variety of locations to increase resilience and eliminate or diminish negative characteristics and that complementing action on several frontiers can yield a higher overall impact than activities focused on a single level or region. As a result, it necessitates multidisciplinary collaboration to appropriately address the wide range of challenges that affect a community's health. As a result, it provides a matrix for identifying and directing methods that may be combined to form a coherent, reasonable reply with accumulated force to affect positive change in areas of concern.

To enact health development, appropriate mental health promotion includes applying the cycle of promoting health action stages to a specific psychological disorder (problems and determinants) inside two some or all of the nested ecological systems (by acting on impacts and so changing results).
